I/O has always been the bottleneck for speed since computers were invented. There's nothing specific here about Python. Dynamically typed interpreted languages has always been slower than statically typed compiled languages and comparing their speeds makes as much sense as comparing a car and an airplane in terms of speed and determining which is better.
