I haven’t looked at the benchmark, but that alone can give a serious slow down.
But just to clarify something: it’s not because something gets compiled down to machine code that it is inherently fast (or faster). JIT can perform miracles, and depending on the workload, cache-friendliness can have a dramatic effect.
A good Python program can outperform a bad C one, etc.
