Is the difference really that big? TechEmpower's benchmarks [1] shows express being a few times faster than Django, but it's an order of magnitude at most. You're talking about 4 orders of magnitude. Is it something that's not well covered by benchmarks?
It would be nice if python could get the same amount of effort put in to performance as JavaScript did.
But in this case the interpreter speed is largely irrelevant. This is a complex project and more than half the response time is spent waiting for the database (which is C++, not that it matters either)

Coming from a node.js world, I thought they meant 100k and the title had a typo.

More than likely there is some other factor disturbing the performance here.
100/s is slow
