Python is slow
http://blog.kowalczyk.info/blog/2008/07/05/why-google-should-sponsor-a-faster-python-vm.html I fully agree with Krzysztof Kowalczyk . Can't they build a faster VM for Python since they love the language so much? Python is SLOW.And I am not comparing it with compiled languages like C. Python is even slower than PHP! Just go to any Python website and you will know. An example is: http://www2.ljworld.com/ And this site is created by the creators of Django! And it is not just this Python site that is slow. There are many many Python sites which are very slow. And please don’t say that it could be the web hosting or the server which is slow — because when so many Python sites are slower than PHP sites, it couldn’t be the web hosting. Also, Zope/Plone is even slower. Python is slow. Very slow. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: Python is slow
You guys are living in denial. Python is SLOW, especially for web apps. Instead of getting mad, why don't get together and come up with a faster VM/interpreter?

Python is slow
Python is slow.Almost all of the web applications written in Python are slow. Zope/Plone is slow, sloow, so very slooow. Even Google Apps is not faster. Neither is Youtube. Facebook and Wikipedia (Mediawiki), written in PHP, are so much faster than Python. Okay, they probably use caching or some code compilation -- but Google Apps and those Zope sites probably also use caching. I've yet to see a web application written in Python which is really fast. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: Python is slow
i am not comparing Python with C or C++ which are of course compiled languages. if there is any consolation to Python lovers here, Python is still faster than Microsoft ASP/ASPX. i'm not trying to 'troll' here. it's not just me. many have complained that python is slow. python websites are slow. if python is such a good programming/scripting language, why can't they build a faster interpreter/compiler engine? and beat php and zend. to the python team, rebuild your interpreter! torontolife.com is slow. okay, maybe Python is only slightly slower than PHP, but it APPEARS to be much slower. there is a distinct waiting time whenever you access a python web page before the page starts loading. but once it loads, it is fast. php page starts loading immediately once you access it, but you can see the page slowly loading. because you see the page starts loading immediately, you feel it is fast.
