Be fair -- there's no evidence that Ashish Gaonker was insincere about 
his question or trying to stir up trouble. It is a very common 
misapprehension that "language Foo is faster than language Bar", and in 
practice, Java programs often are faster than the equivalent Python 
program. That's a quality of implementation issue rather than a language 
issue: Python hasn't had the millions of dollars of development that 
Java has had. But I bet I could write a Java compiler that was slower 
than Python, easy! <wink>
