If you download something large enough to be meaningful, you'll find the runtime speeds should all converge to something showing your internet connection speed. Try downloading a 4 GB file, for example. You're trying to benchmark an io-bound operation. After you move past the very small and meaningless examples that simply benchmark the overhead of the connection building, you'll find that all languages, even compiled languages like C, should run at the same speed on average. Neither VBS nor Python will be faster than each other. Now if you want to talk about processing the data once you have it, there we can talk about speeds and optimization. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
