Generaly, for php, python and perl, run-time is dominated by
startup-time. Python can somewhat reduce this using the pre-compiled
bytecode. However, using mod_python should be a big improvement anyway.

Since I can't find direct comparsion of python and php on the net,
I can't tell you which is actualy faster once they both have modules
loaded in the server.
