Would it be fast enough, if it was done in Python?

Another bunch of ideas are related to web apps, e.g. here are some for an inspiration: http://live.sympy.org/ http://gamma.sympy.org/ http://empathy.sympy.org/beta/ or improving the Sage notebook or codenode, or this notebook: http://gamma.sympy.org/nb/ so that one can use sympy (or Sage or any other python based program) over the web easily.
