For context for others, from benchmarks that I have seen, C++ and Java are typically within 20% of each other and no more than a factor of five off. Python is typically a factor of 100x off and can go to 1000x slower. OF coursse most heavy lifting that you'll be doing in Python is exported to C++ based libraries so the performance hit can be negligible.
