50 rps not that much, though of course easily sufficient for many situations. This is also Django which certainly isn't the fastest choice. I played around with it a long time ago and liked it quite a bit, but you don't choose Django for performance but for the other benefits.
I'm really more surprised that static serving is so slow at 180 rps. This should be able to easily saturate the network, statically serving files is very, very fast. From what I see in the blog I doubt that the files are very large, so there is probably some other bottleneck or I'm missing something here.
