I'm sorry for crossposting this question but my emails are somehow ignored on django-users list...

According to that webpage: http://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/#section=data-r4 django performance is really bad comparing to other popular web frameworks. Are there any plans to change this situation?

Regards,

First, there are some very serious problems with those "benchmarks" --
they aren't really comparing apples to apples at all. There's some
interesting things to dig into with that work, but stating
categorically that this "proves" that Django is "slow" is... a
stretch.

Second, raw speed isn't everything. Scalability, ease of use,
suitability, and many other factors play into the decisions we make
about technology. If we only cared about raw speed, we'd all still be
writing assembly.

Finally, of course we care about performance, and we're constantly
monitoring and improving Django's speed (see
https://github.com/jacobian/djangobench, for example). If you'd like
to help, there's plenty of low-hanging fruit, feel free to dive in.

But let's not pay *too* much attention to a badly-designed study with
unclear goals and intentions.

I'll also second that, in addition to the methodological flaws I see, they don't do any testing of running Django under PyPy, which has seen significant speed boosts in the wild.

You posted this here less than an hour after posting on django-users, that hardly seems time enough to consider it "ignored" there.

Also, you might want to include a subject in your emails, particularly for high-traffic lists I would not be surprised if some people simply scan the subjects for stuff that they think might be interesting or something they may be able to answer. items with "(no subject)" as the subject may very well get fewer readers than a subject that actually describes the post/question/whatever.
