There was no serious money invested until recently in Python performance.
Imagine what could happen if billions of dollars were invested in performance like it was done for C/C++/Java/Javascript in aggregate by various companies.
As more Python is being run in datacenters that starts to make sense, since 1% of CPU usage improvement can mean tens of millions of dollars per year in power costs.
