How much memory does Django consume compared to Rails?

[Jason Hsu]

I have deployed two Ruby on Rails sites on WebFaction, and Passenger Rack takes up around 60 MB of memory apiece.

I was planning on replacing my Drupal web sites with Rails, but I'm now considering replacing these Drupal sites with Django. Given that the baseline memory consumption for a Rails site is around 60 MB, how would a Django site compare?

A memory consumption by python web frameworks is relatively low. A `typical` web site developed using wheezy.web (a lightweight full-featured web framework) consumes about 14-23 Mb per worker on x86 platform. The django is not far from there.

A minimal django hello world application hosted in uWSGI application server:
11Mb master + N * 9.4Mb per worker
