Any compiled language (Fortran, C, C++, typically) will probably go much faster than any interpreted/bytecode-based language (like python or perl, anything that does not use a jit).
From http://docs.python.org/3/library/math.html "CPython implementation detail: The math module consists mostly of thin wrappers around the platform C math library functions."
There's only one way I know of to find if it's actually fast enough and that's test it.
