It's only your feelings based on prejudice. Please look at the real benchmarks: http://www.alrond.com/en/2007/jan/25/performance-test-of-6-leading- frameworks/ PHP is the slowest. Python/Django is the fastest. 2x-35x times faster then PHP. Give us the real benchmarks or stop trolling. Ivan -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
