Yeah you can make Django go really fast, especially when you have pages that well scope what data they are pulling from (though you seem to know it better than me).

I think B2B SaaS, for "normal" teams (read: people not that adept at building scalable systems), when not careful, tend to make omnipages where about 20 different things are happening. Even just navigating to a page ends up triggering random side effects (driven by various needs).

There you can easily find yourself in a performance pit that you have to dig yourself out of (often redesigning features in the process to remove some stuff).

I just find that setting fairly easy performance goals can help to make perf seem more tractable.
