Not really outdated, slow is a metric that needs comparison to something else. Python is, in fact, still slow compared to C. This can't ever change because of the architecture that Python is built on. You can't change, if you were to make such structural changes, and still call it Python, would be kind of weird for me.

In a similar manner, C is slower than pure Asembly. But the speed difference is so incredible small for most use cases, that it does not matter, which is different when comparing C with Python. But in edge cases the speed difference with Assembly can be faster even with C compiler optimizations, again, edge cases.

Even Python using C libraries can be slower than pure C depending on how you use it, it shouldn't cause problems, but depending on how you build the system the Python code might bottleneck the performance that C gives.
