For web applications, I would probably prefer Java in most cases for performance reasons.

Because, as we all know, hardware is expensive. And programmers are cheap.
Check out Django:
http://www.djangoproject.org
If it can handle the Washington Post's site, it can probably handle your sites. It scales out like you wouldn't believe. And with memcached, you have caching at multiple levels, at as fine or as coarse a granularity as you desire.
And the "Curse Gaming" site has shown that it can handle 600,000 pages per hour. (That's pages, not hits.)
