It should be noted that, with PyPy, the Python example executes in 3.924s.

Yes, since PyPy (and Rubinius) have JITs (like V8), that is the fairer comparison. Nevertheless this highlights just how helpful JITs can be for cpu-bound code -- makes me wish PyPy was more ubiquitous (and gets py3k support sooner rather than later).

And F# running under Mono executes in 0.950s and the code is shorter, where standard Python 2.6 takes 1m36s. This isn't about pure speed.

But, does it webscale?
