For performance, hot paths are the only ones that matter.

  Sure, but only a small subset of problems have a hot path. You can easily offload huge tensor operations to C. That's the best possible case. More usually the "hot path" is fairly evenly distributed through your entire codebase. If you offload the hot path to C you'll end up rewriting the whole thing in C.

    > "hot path" is fairly evenly distributed No, hot paths are seldom fairly evenly distributed, even on non-numeric applications. In most cases they will be in a small number of locations.

      Not in my experience.
