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.
an IS organization would not ponder this unless availability was becoming an issue.
if so the case, look into replication, load balancing and lots of ram.
