If you're going to be talking about speed, then you have to keep in mind that programs on older computers are going to run slower then on newer ones. And likewise, programs written now running on future computers will run faster than they do now. The hardware is just as important as the software. And its for that reason that speed is irrelevant - code can always run faster on newer hardware. Just because one language implementation is slower than another on identical hardware does not make the slower language 'bad'. It just means that it's slower.
