Needs more tornado. Or, err, twisted.web.

Hmm, for a second I though this was a follow-up on tornado vs twisted rant. And now the twisted side...

That is, tornado is not more simple without twisted.

That's not exactly what I'd say. :) Tornado without twisted is simpler than tornado with twisted, because you can't ignore the huge system you'd otherwise be able to avoid.

Edit to remove mild flame.

Both twisted and Tornado are very fun to work on and I think it is great they are focused on performance. This is nothing but good for web frameworks in Python.

How would one do things right if there are no examples of comparable quality?

Revisit the recent drama with twisted vs tornado.

Am I mis-reading that graph or is it the case that twisted.web handles half the concurrent connections that tornado does /and/ more slowly? Is it possible that twisted performing "almost as well" as tornado might be exaggerated?

You do not need special db adapters for tornado/twisted. The one that comes out of the box for tornado is a thin wrapper over the mysqldb library, and I've seen mysqldb used in twisted applications.

The Tornado front page refers to itself as a framework six times, but we're splitting hairs.

Twisted is, at least for now, more general purpose. Can't wait to see where Tornado goes though.
