Apparently you have debugged your speed issue so I suppose you don't have
performance problems anymore. Do note, however, that Python is generally
not as fast as C -- especially for low-level stuff -- and a Python Web
server will probably serve around 10x less requests per second than a C
Web server like Apache (this will still give you hundreds of simple
requests per second on a modern machine).
In any case, as far as functionality, robustness, portability and
community support are concerned, you probably can't go wrong with Twisted.

Antoine.
