My experiments are all pretty old. Too old to be useful. Currently I have commercial websites using web2py and I don't need to do anything remarkable to make it faster. I just used good design techniques and didn't do "premature optimization." I'm now re-writing a Rails, site, a Java site, and an older web2py site into a combined site that will do all of the above. My database is MySql and has about 50 tables, with 20 to 100 columns in each. My largest table has about 3M rows in it. I expect 30M when I'm done.
I chose indexes carefully and I used "modules" (i.e. compiled python) for most of the model/controller details. The beta site beats the pants off the sites it is replacing. No pypy needed. No cython either. If you're looking at platform "benchmarks" to make a decision of what is fast enough, just don't do that. The benchmarks I looked at turned out to be worse than useless in practice. Most benchmarks pare down the task into something small and atomic that can be done by every platform. Which means if you're using the services of a full-service platform like web2py the benchmark is already slanted against you. It will compare the platforms assuming you are not using DAL, templating, routing, and all of the other feature that make web2py useful. Basically they just make every app look like "hello world" for web servers. The only way to compare a platform is to use a workload like the one you will deploy. Mine is VERY HEAVY on database usage so the SQL database dominates the page load time in most cases. I also use some heavy Javascript libraries (like Datatables.net) which affects load times. The speed problems are never where you think they'll be. And clever caching and other techniques can fix just about anything. -- Joe On Sunday, June 25, 2017 at 12:10:56 PM UTC-7, Ron Chatterjee wrote: > > Ok.
