As a person that uses Django to make a living (at my full-time job, and for my freelance work) and who has tinkered with a lapis/openresty site on my spare time (http://graphcake.com), I'd say productivity is on the side of Django. There are too many included batteries (form validation, django ORM more powerful than lapis ORM, staticfiles) and high quality 3rd party libraries (task queue (celery, python-rq), image processing, caching) that I'd hate to reimplement.
That said, performance is totally on the side of lapis/openresty. The performance of my side project totally depends on how fast postgres responds to the needed queries.
