      Probably because it’s written in Python, which is a mind-bogglingly slow language.

      You can do things like rewrite individual performance critical methods in C or Rust, but only if there are identifiable performance critical methods.
      If it’s just a general slowness across the code, you would pretty much have to rewrite the whole thing in another language to fix that.
