Nodejs is much faster than Python even for workloads where there's overlap in use-cases, like webapis and scripting. The only production language with performance in the ballpark of Python is Ruby. I agree that more often than not it simply isn't an issue, but CPython performance isn't much far ahead of toy languages, for a whole lot of reasons that we are all sick and tired of hearing.
