updated with: 4) django Rps: 13331.91 ms 99% 86 5) web2py "plain cheating mode" (read the comments) Rps: 4719.26 ms 99% 250
Just to stress it out a web.py (minimal framework - apples) vs web2py (full framework - oranges) comparison. Hack 10 minutes one single file - no thinking required - to have a more fair comparison between apples and oranges and voilà, bump +50% on "performances". I know, we're still far from django (a more "fair competitor"), but as soon as you start using databases, forms, templates and cookies/sessions, the gap "collapses". --
