Decoding JSON in Python without using a C library is indeed CPU-intensive.

  Python's standard library json module uses a C extension module for the CPU intensive stuff.

    Yes, decoding JSON in python is much more efficient if you are not actually decoding JSON in python.

    It's damn slow too compared to protobufs, or, especially, FlatBuffers.

  Yeah but I think it's reasonable to assume no one using Python in production actually does this.
