Additional insights about Web.py (update 2) - sessions and slowly pages

I have used default branch of web.py framework for prototyping purposes. As my web app needs sessions and there is no bult in session support, I tried to use flup and beaker modules. Meanwhile I realized that there is another branch of web.py with simple sessions.
It is handling session storage on database or files, and has typical session api (although simpler than beaker). It is all what I needed.
If you are using bzr already you can get web.py with sessions directly from repository:

bzr branch http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~karol.tarcak/webpy/webpy.sessions.branch webpy

Another issue is slowly page generation. I think it's matter of using uncached templates, but this is unevitable during development process. Maybe database connection also adds its workload, I have to check it. Now every page loads in about 10 seconds- it's slower than compiling jsp page on the same machine. I'm going to investigate the subject and return to process of happy-snappy coding.

Maybe you found anything what can speed up page generation- please share your experiences. I'm waiting for comments.
