> I challenge you to find a major bloated software where the main source of overhead is Python interpretation

In every piece of non-trivial software I’ve written in python, the main source of overhead has been Python interpretation.

I don’t think it’d be hard at all to meet your challenge.

If it wouldn't be hard at all, we're left to wonder that you don't seem to have tried.
Performing a legitimate performance benchmark of even one piece of enterprise Python software — much less across a representative survey — is well beyond the reasonable scope of a comment board reply.
So, too hard.
