> more important than the number crunching ability of your programming language
I work on a data visualization program written with PyQt. As an example, in a scatterplot with several hundred thousand rows, the bottleneck is not number crunching. Numpy could go up another order of magnitude. Probably two. The bottleneck is figuring out efficient ways to display all of the points, correctly, and make them pickable.
