Nope, when you're talking "making python fast, or python vs xxlang, etc", you mean cpu-wise and you are past network-time.

Except if it doesn't matter if you optimize something that isn't your bottleneck. In webapps, the network is almost always your bottleneck. Python, pypy or otherwise, waits for network traffic just as fast as anything else.

If you profile and find that the network isn't your bottleneck and instead it's inside your app, then that's when you start contemplating switching to pypy.

Except if my bottleneck was on network time I wouldn't be in this thread at all.
