For most cases it just doesn't matter. I make software that requires searching over large datasets (image recognition for construction drawings). It's a web app running python on the server and it feels instantaneous for users as they're searching. Most people aren't even doing that - they're just pushing and pulling data from a db. Building maintainable software is what really matters.
