Can someone explain the results of recent Techempower benchmarks (https://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/#section=data-r13) which show Django 22 times faster than Rails for JSON serialisation, 4 times faster for multiple queries, 7 times faster with fortunes and 23 times faster handling plain text? If these results were true wouldn't Django have replaced Rails long ago?

Because if raw performance is your main selection criteria for a web framework you shouldn't be using either of them.
