C/C++ is relatively fast as compared to Python because when you run the Python script, its interpreter will interpret the script line by line and generate output but in C, the compiler will first compile it and generate an output which is optimized with respect to the hardware.
I have experience with both .NET(5yrs) and Python(1yr) and I want to create a simple web project with Twitter as the backbone. I have experience with AppEngine, and have always wanted to try Azure. I'm going to make extensive use of sending and parsing tweets from lots of users at a time, and since I've set a short deadline for this I'd like to take the shortest path possible.

A quick look at the twitter API libraries(http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Libraries) gave me this for python:
and this for C#:
