There are also JITs available for scripting languages (JavaScript for example)

The compare is also moot on a different layer. When I developed LUA scripts to access a C library for SQL it was fast enough for deployment. This is similar to Python + QEdje. Its not as if QEdje is programmed in Python.

Compares by Rasterman between hardware X rendering and X.Org software rendering were both slower than software rendering by Evas/Edje.
