Yeah, I also realized that the figures make no sense, since Python runs better then 10,000x slower then C, and I find it theoretically impossible for it to be faster then C.
I am going to leave some libraries such as Tk alone, since they are fast enough. I'm mostly focusing on optimizing the mathematical libraries.
