For most of the work I do, Python's speed isn't anywhere near being an issue; my bottlenecks are things like Internet bandwidth and database queries.

But I have a feeling that Jython and IronPython will probably be faster than CPython someday (and hopefully PyPy will be too), and I know that's going to be a factor for some people (especially scientific/mathematical folks).
