A quick comparison with python:
> time python -c 'print("Hello world!")'
Hello world!
0.03s user 0.01s system 80% cpu 0.048 total
> /usr/bin/time -l python -c 'print("Hello world!")'
Hello world!
0.04 real 0.02 user 0.01 sys
6 maximum resident set size (MB)
2110 page reclaims
24 involuntary context switches
So the Python version *takes 5x longer*, and uses *3x more memory.*
