NodeJS might be slow, but it still is orders of magnitude faster than any interpreted or JIT Python implementation. I agree that no one really chooses Node because it is fast, but I think they choose it because it is fast _enough_ whereas if using Python you'd probably find multiple performance bottlenecks that could be show-stoppers.
