has a few pointers to such comparisons.

My personal belief is that the majority of "all the negative commentary
consider the performance of Python with 'plain' CGI I've found on the Web"
is ... ill-informed.  If you like CGI, start with CGI.  If the performance
isn't adequate, ask for a tuning tip or two.  THEN, if necessary, you can
choose one of the other systems, with only a modest cost of transition.

On the other hand, I happen to like some of the in-process Python-savvy
Web servers, so I use them.
