I'd be tempted to say you should not be worrying about such performance issues at this stage. Remember what Knuth said, "... premature optimization is the root of all evil" Suffice it to say you can push rather large amounts of disk I/O with Python, and you can always come up with creative caching systems or whatever once you get that far along and it proves to be a problem.
