That naively means EVE simulation could be about 10x as fast if written in something else? Or did you speed up some modules in a native/JIT language?

Well EVE is written in C++ with Stackless Python embedded so as you might expect parts like the renderer were already written in C++ but plenty of core systems have been rewritten over the years from Python to C++ although that those have been pretty herculean efforts of some very smart people.

Thanks! The renderer is to be expected to be in C++, but I was thinking about the server side more (the simulation).
