This comment only shows that you don't understand Amdahl's law (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amdahl%27s_law http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amdahl%27s_law) If it takes 10s for your Python code to serve a request, it doesn't matter if the framework takes 1s or 0.1s to parse http headers and call you. The 0.1s framework is 10x faster than 1s framework but it only makes <10% difference on metric that you really care about. The only way to actually make a 10x difference on "time to serve a request" metric is to switch to a more performant language, like C# or Java or Go. (and I'm using seconds for illustration purposes only, in real life the timing would be in milli-seconds, but the same logic apply)
