Which is faster, python webpages or php webpages?
Does anyone know how the speed of pylons(or any of the other frameworks) compares to a  similar website made with php?  
I know that serving a python base webpage via cgi is slower than php because of its long start up every time.
I enjoy using pylons and I would still use it if it was slower than php. But if pylons was faster than php, I could maybe, hopefully, eventually convince my employer to allow me to convert the site over to pylons.
The only right answer is "It depends". There's a lot of variables that can affect the performance, and you can optimize many things in either situation.
