To my experience python is quite fast, when the underlying C components do most of the work (like with pyode, numpy, etc.). The C-python interpreter can't be called fast on the other hand, at least compared to C/C++. If you do DSP processing using Python statements (not numpy) it's really a waste of cpu.

Let me just add that the same pattern happened within the pd world: unoptimised interpreter takes time to get one step done, so the answer is to make it so that less steps are needed. After all, that's why you made Vasp and that's also why I made GridFlow.
