If you want speed, do multithreaded C or C++ or Rust or Go. Python is one of the slowest languages out there, according to various benchmarks. Cython might help you some. https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/performance/fasta.html https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/... https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/performance/spectralnorm.html https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/... (as you can see, Python is 50-100 times slower than C++)
