title: Choosing Rails vs. Django based on performance and scalability
body: <p>I'm currently working on a side project (that hopefully will grow into something more), and right now its strictly static front-end stuff; HTML, CSS and jQuery.  So in the meantime, I have time to do heavy research on choosing Ruby on Rails vs. Python/Django.</p>
  
  <p>I've read countless articles comparing the two, which usually come down to "what language do you prefer?" and considerations of the development community.</p>
  
  <p>My question here is strictly of a technical nature, comparing the frameworks (and their respective languages) as such: </p>
  
  <p>Between Ruby/Rails vs. Python/Django:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Which run-time performs better (any statistics or real-world examples would be great)?</li>
  <li>What are the known scalability problems, and which scales better in the long run (again, any technical documentation or data to represent this would be great)?</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>I understand that scalability comes down to architecture, so the question is what framework and its respective tools, APIs, plug-ins, community, documentation, etc. "guides" you towards the best scalable web architecture from the "get-go"?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
