fwiw, IDG's Computer Sweden, "sweden's leading IT-newspaper" has a surprisingly big Python article in their most recent issue:

PYTHON FEELS WELL Better performance biggest news in 2.4 [snip]

Perhaps the message getting out is actually that Python's performance is getting better, so nothing to worry about. The original article that Guido cited had a headline along the same lines: "Faster Python grabs programmers".

So perhaps there really is nothing to worry about in this department: the headlines are saying "Python now faster". That to me sounds like an excellent way to combat "Python is slow" memes. :)
