body: <p>Which is faster, python webpages or php webpages?</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone know how the speed of pylons(or any of the other frameworks) compares to a  similar website made with php?  </p>
  
  <p>I know that serving a python base webpage via cgi is slower than php because of its long start up every time.</p>
  
  <p>I enjoy using pylons and I would still use it if it was slower than php. But if pylons was faster than php, I could maybe, hopefully, eventually convince my employer to allow me to convert the site over to pylons.</p>
