Sorry, my English is so unclear!  I meant that people sometimes say Python is
slow, yet because it allows clearer algorithms, one ends up with more speed
in Python than other solutions in supposedly faster languages.  For these
other solutions, the slowness comes from the algorithms.  People are often
tempted to benchmark languages, while they should rather benchmark ideas. :-)
