This is a fascinating round for WFB, with drastically different results from round 7. I'm impressed with the strides Go has made, and also quite impressed with JRuby. I know the banking app Simple chose it as its language/runtime of choice, and they seem to leverage it well.

I'd still like to see a good showing from Django, maybe using uWSGI + Nginx. I might submit a pull request and see if I can't get that included in the next round. Gunicorn is great and incredibly easy to set up, but pales in comparison to other platforms when it comes to raw speed.

As far as Django goes, there hasn't been much tuning in general[0]. The only thing I see them doing is template caching. At the least they should be running 1.6 with persistent DB connections. Beyond that they have a lot of middleware enabled that isn't being used.
