Thanks!. I liked the post. We have a simple django benchmark in the 
suite which shows PyPy to be about 4x faster for templating[0], I don't 
think it actually sets up for answering requests. There is a need for 
more complete site benchmarking like in your post.


You may be interested in a deep dive[1] into profiling one django app
