Most people just consider the raw execution time to measure performance. In long-term applications that really matters.

In usual applications however most people don't realize that the development time should also be considered. In that sense a program written in a few lines of Python could actually outperform a super optimized C++ program because it usually requires more time and effort to code the same thing in C++.
