It's 100 small things, each which were accepted because Python was already so slow, it didn't make a difference. Look at the past graveyard of failed attempts to speed up Python. Pypy and Numba are probably the best examples, but neither are very useful.

I think it's best to accept Python is just slow, and to use another language.
