The slow speed of Python (and a number of other scripting languages) is well known. But obviously that is not any sort of issue, and these people working flat out on tracing JIT compilers are all wasting their time too!
The slow speed of Python hasn't stopped it gaining a huge following in just about every possible area of computing. Who cares about speed when you're waiting for the file, database or network to respond? Sure, some people want things faster, but I suspect that 99% couldn't care less.
