I've been developing my application for 6 weeks now and I stay updated with the trunk version of web2py. I know that Massimo, Johnathan, and others have been working to increase performance of web2py, but I had to make a Django app for someone that was similar to one of the web2py applications I built while teaching myself web2py about a month ago. Running the Django app, I noticed that the Django app responds around 50 to 100ms faster in some cases. My app still checks for migrations because I'm still developing it, so I know that will slow it down a bit.
Are there some areas where performance can be further improved to squeeze a little more speed out of web2py applications? Also, is there a good way to profile applications to find the slowest methods? Web2py is pretty fast already, but I'm wondering if there are any known areas of slowness (besides the obvious latency caused by database queries) within web2py that I can play around with?
