Whether that's true or not, it does not directly address the OP's claim, which had to do with Django vs. Rails, not Python vs. Ruby. Now, if the Python interpreter is significantly faster than the Ruby interpreter, that certainly would help Django be faster than Rails. But as you yourself pointed out, there might well be bottlenecks elsewhere, so that fact alone is not sufficient.
