I used to program in Visual BASIC 6.0 which was considered slow at the time. It is just a matter of using the proper algorithms to speed it up. Almost any programming language targeted at beginners or newbies is going to be considered slow because beginners and newbies don't know the proper algorithms and code tweeks to speed things up yet. When you deal with sloppy inefficient code, almost any language is going to be considered slow. I remember trying to make a paint program with Turbo Pascal 3.0 back in the DOS days, it was slow until I learned better algorithms in drawing things and how to write directly to video memory instead of using built in commands like plot.
