It's static content (for now... the site is being designed for user-generated content.), but page generation times without caching is about 1-2ms (3-7ms with gzip), and I'm actually speeding that further with materialized database views, probably down to 500us. With Redis caching it's in the 350us range. Those are latency numbers. So, it's about as fast as it gets.

Note that I don't use the Django Templating system at all, and generate pages in Python instead.

I already went through a viral moment that caused our site to go down for a day after our last issue (we're a print magazine), and so the site is being designed to work around that.
