If you are looking at it from the perspective of communications with the client, then the answer is probably no. This is because the io module isn't used in raw socket interfaces which is what web servers deal with for traffic. In some hosting mechanisms such as Apache/ mod_wsgi, the WSGI application sits directly on top of custom interfaces into Apache C internal APIs and doesn't even talk to a socket. Where it may come into play is file base operations done on a per request basis. For general Python code modules it is all cached in memory so doesn't apply there. If you have HTML page templates, or request handler code, then reading of them is affected, but if they are cached in memory, again will not make any difference. So, what is left is any custom use of files by your own code on a per request basis. Since cant know what your specific application does, then can't comment. Overall I wouldn't expect to see any significant difference in an existing well designed web framework.
