The "proof" (benchmarks, yeah, I know) is in the provided link. Feel free to shoot them down.

Anyway, slower or not, writing a small async service is still easier in Node.js. You can trust that no libraries block your event loop and I'm not sure there's quite anything like Express (simplicity+popularity) for async Python just yet.

I just did: those benchmarks show uvloop's performance, not python's, i.e.: they're designed to minimize time spent in callback code.
