Django templating is still pretty slow.... the last time I benchmarked it (maybe 6 months ago) it was a fairly large amount slower than Jinja2 (3-4x maybe?)

Did you make sure to enable to cached template loader[1]?

That helps, but it's still well below parity.

What's cool is that there is a legitimate push to make Jinja a first class citizen in Django, with other third party templating engines being available via a new API.
