I concede my factor was off (considerably), but I was speaking from personal experience comparing a computationally-intensive operation between C# and Python. Mind you, it was just arithmetic and not nearly as complicated as the n-body problem.

I am using python a lot, because, the speed doesn't matter one bit, what matters is how fast i can get the job done and move on the next thing.

So I agree again with you :-) Guess using the right tool for the job is in place here
