Why won't it be the fastest? I didn't think there would be any difference between "native" in the system paths and in a virtualenv.

So, for things like tensorflow, you have to build from source to enable certain optimizations. Wheel's aren't source builds essentially.

I think GP is talking about virtualenv, not pip. Using an optimized build in a virtualenv environment should not be any slower than using it outside the environment, right?

Ah yes, that's true as far as I know.
