Nothing sad about Python, except the performance at certain things.

OK, sad.

My large-ish PyQt GUI project is fast once it gets going, but it's slow 
to load the first time.  It uses 44MB of memory at first, then builds up 
to around 55.

Excel 2003 uses 3MB of RAM on start.

Betterbird newsreader uses 227MB

Brave browser with YouTube page open but no videos playing uses 600MB.
