Yes:
"I removed the Disqus comments and the many many lines of CSS from the old site and replaced it with only a couple of lines of CSS alongside a CDN-hosted copy of Twitter Bootstrap. Finally, the Go site is deployed to a free instance of Heroku and the MongoDB hosted on a developer version of Mongolab, while the old Django site was hosted on a Webfaction shared server. All these things influence the validity of a direct speed comparison between the two versions"
Indeed, all these things _invalidate_ the direct speed comparison between the two versions.

No, author, Go had very little to do with your page load times. Both Go and Django are going to serve a simple blog at the same speeds.
