I have developed a lot of Python based websites (mostly Django), some quite complex, and I have very rarely seen anything that takes seconds to load - sometimes some database queries have been slow. In most cases load time is dominated by loading JS and images.

So, slow queries.

I have not has such bad issues with dependency management either. Not even with old stuff someone else wrote years ago.
