Right, but of course we must agree on what "simple" means.

Yes, usually it is insane, for several reasons.
Django (like Ruby on Rails, and other very high level framework) have 
the "problem" on hide low level details.

This is fine, but this also means that you can write code that it is 
easy to write but completely inefficient.

Unfortunately this question does not have an easy answer.
You should really make good tests.

Fortunately know we have many good implementations of WSGI so that we 
can test an application in several environments:
Apache mod_wsgi, Nginx mod_wsgi, and so.
