I'm going to go with the multiple causes for slowness (and that's interpreted languages in general). In some cases, things might be usable if I weren't on Zen+ still (newer stuff has better IPC among other things).

Things like JIT or no-GIL might reduce that, but I'm not sure that it's that easy to fix (not being default (plus multiple options) seems to complicate bindings even).
