I once worked on a small web project, at a university, in Python, using WSGI IIRC. It loaded a lot faster than any of the big expensive apps the university had written. Well, there was one exception. The little import statement to import the Oracle database client took maybe 15 seconds. MySQL for the win :) (I would not recommend MySQL for new applications today, although I might recommend it over Oracle…)
