In modern world any heavy loaded site should have HORIZONTAL SCALING. That means it should support scale by adding new servers to cluster. With horizontal scaling you should not care about how python is slow on each node, until you have traffic like Facebook or Guthub have. I believe 99% websites work well on Python/Django and you have more chances to face database bottlenecks, than Django/Python bottlenecks. You know Instagram, right? They use Django AFAIK.
CLR (.NET) should probably be faster in some cases (specially with JIT) and it has better multithreading support and better profiling tools, but even with it you will need to create cluster architecture for heavy sites. So, choosing between C#/.NET and Python/Django is not about performance, I believe. It is about language, platforms, static/no static typing and so on.
