Python is an interpreted language, which is fundamentally always slower than a compiled language like Rust. However the main performance bottleneck are actually sql queries, and I believe we make a lot more effort to optimize them compared to Piefed.
That makes sense to me logically. Are there advanced caching techniques being deployed? I’m really curious about this.
Not sure what you mean by "advanced caching". There is some basic caching for data which rarely or never changes, for example most things in
/api/v3/site. But other data like post listings change a lot, so caching is not an option and instead its a matter of optimizing the sql queries (using the right indexes, reducing the number of joins, making benchmarks and looking at query plans).Here is an issue on this topic: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/5555
