time is relative.
I recall my first 'real' programming job.
---
I say real because when I worked in engineering most of what I did was diagnostic programming for the project we were working on, and you weren't an IBM guy (anyone who worked on any makers computer IBM or not) until someone actually gave you the label.
---
A backup which was done on three high speed 9 track tape drives rated in BPI (bits per inch)would take several hours, and many reels of tape.
Today, that same process on an external disk drive would take maybe 5 to 10 minutes.
If you write the code as efficiently as you are able to, especially with the current rate of expansion, will end of more than fast enough in most circumstances, no matter what the (modern) language. Python is winning, that stands for something.
