In general the bottleneck is the database access. The web2py DAL adds negligible overhead to that
http://web2py.com/AlterEgo/default/show/76 People have tested web2py vs Pylons (which people says it is faster than Django and reddit.com uses it): http://www.mail-archive.com/web2py@googlegroups.com/msg04120.html (these kind of results really depend on the app). If you use the internal web server, web2py uses cherrypy's which is faster than the others python ones. http://www.rkblog.rk.edu.pl/w/p/simple-python-frameworks-benchmark/ (this is going to change since Tim wrote Rocket that is better than Cherrypy's and we are about to move to it). It would be nice to run more benchmarks.
