Seems about right. Luckily, if performance becomes an issue, you can probably scale out horizontally, or perhaps if you don't care much about sticking to the reference implementations, you can consider using alternative ones. For example, there are benchmarks of some of the Ruby implementations here: https://pragtob.wordpress.com/2020/08/24/the-great-rubykon-benchmark-2020-cruby-vs-jruby-vs-truffleruby/ https://pragtob.wordpress.com/2020/08/24/the-great-rubykon-b... And here's a paper from 2016 comparing some of the Python implementations: http://kth.diva-portal.org/smash/get/diva2:912464/FULLTEXT01 http://kth.diva-portal.org/smash/get/diva2:912464/FULLTEXT01 Of course, performance in real world scenarios and when using larger frameworks (such as Ruby on Rails or Django) may differ from synthetic benchmarks, but it's nice that at least there's work done in creating these alternative implementations. A bit like how we have Hotspot and OpenJ9 for Java as well or even how there's glibc and musl - that way you can choose which implementation is the most suited for your needs, be it for performance reasons or others...
