umm ouch. 1) Aside from the description of your app sounding entirely unreal you've probably gone beyond the world that any basic web application framework can handle and into the world of needing to higher a few Ph.D's. No simple ORM is going to work for you not django, not sqlalchemy, not rails, not hibernate. You'll want to put alot of logic in your database, and in middle ware, not your webserver.
2) Django will load all the model classes into RAM with each apache process. So the frequency of model loading depends upon your max requests per child. Though ultimately you'll prolly need a couple of Sun E 20 K 's to server your website. Ultimately if you've got 10,000 entitties you've probably got a number of very serious design flaws. Or to many SQLServer DBA's working for you ;).
