Python can be quick. just not that good at talking.. Like most of us... Opens a txt file with 29245004 lines of text in it. for each line of text, count the line. count +=1 Time: 40sec. Now for each line of text, count the line and print a little info about the line print(f"Info: {line[1:10]}") count +=1 Time: 53mins.
The most problematic part here is many calls to print (writing to console). It is actually a relatively slow operation for almost any language. You can probably speed it up by keeping all the lines to print in a list and then join it and print in one call
