Python is very fast. It compiles to bytecode, and the execution machinery seems to work quite well. I have an application that runs through very large files, doing some simple string matching. It runs at 50 MB/s or better, on a PC.
And in fact Python could be a lot faster. In a class project we did a proof of concept project to build a Python using the same approach as was used for SPITBOL, compiling to real executable code. Python programs ran 5-50 times faster than current interpretors. Maybe one day :-)
