You're absolutely right (but you're probably gonna get some downvotes for saying that).

The ratio between the most-performant parallel framework and the least on Python will be a factor of (guessing) 1.5.

The ratio between a CPU-bound algorithm written in C and one in Python will be of the order of 10000 (again guessing as it's application-dependent).

Where is your time most profitably spent?

Wild Guess: You're not really a python programmer, are you?

Just curious...

Yes, I am... ( and C/C++ )

But I use the right tool for the job. Python is a great tool, but not for performance (Applies to all dynamic, interpreted languages TBH).
