With the note that benchmarks are dangerous, here are some numbers:

I'd say just install it on your own system and run your own tests.

Snakelets has Ypages for templating, but it is not really
difficult to use your own template library (someone is successfully
using PyMeld, for instance).
It is database agnostic, meaning that no database code whatsoever
is in the package. This means that you are 100% free to choose
your own db persistence system.
