When you're using Python the type of performance characteristics you're usually thinking of are "can i call an external library that runs this on the GPU" or "is this log(n) or n^2 complexity?" and such language translations shouldn't change those parts.

As in the language is regularly benchmarked at 10-100x slower than other languages. It's not a languages for caring about subtle performance characteristics outside "am i calling the external library correctly or not?" (as in this article) or "is this algorithm exponential time?".
