> In the title of this article I asked if Python is really that slow. There isn't an objective answer to this question, so you will need to extract your own conclusions based on the data I presented here, or if interested, run your own benchmarks and complement my results with your own. Huh? I mean, author's own benchmarks prove that Python is, indeed, that slow. Not everyone is going to be running their python code through PyPy. There are areas in which Python is invaluable and irreplaceable, but, let's accept things for what they are - it's slow. It only keeps up through libraries that leverages C code, and for those things - it is very acceptable.
