This probably depends on what CPU someone has, someone with a higher-end CPU (higher-IPC/higher clockspeed) probably will have a better experience.
On older/lower-end CPUs it is more common to see when something is single-threaded especially when it's also interpreted. Particularly any type of generator/loader, filter, renderer, live audio. Which to be clear, is from a user perspective.
I think with newer CPUs Python's current speed will be less of a problem but if your intention is game dev I think this is not enough.
Yeah you shouldn't be game deving with a scripting language. There's your problems!
