My experience is similar.  I had an object orientated framework
in PHP for doing something like what the Page class and
TemplateServer's SkeletonPage class do.  PHP was serving at 
around 35-40 req/sec for about a 2 pages of HTML and 
with no DB stuff.  The same with WebWare/Page is serving at over 
100 /sec.  With Webware and TemplateServer it's almost 
200 /sec.  But more importantly, it's far simpler to understand and 
maintain and the dev speed is dramatically faster.  And this is 
for a simple application!  It's with complex applications  that
Python/Webware really trumps PHP, ASP, etc..

Kudos for WebWare!
