The Wiki entry seems to reinforce the impression that bugged Guido to begin with. It provides a bunch of "but ..." explanations about why Python's speed isn't that important. Python is slow, but "speed of development is far more important." If you want to avoid people saying "Python is slow, but ..." you need to give them a different message. "Writing code quickly is crucial in today's marketplace." (whatever, that's not much of a message.) David's dynamic languages whitepaper has more of message, for example.
