Rather than speculate, you could make actual tests.
I once did that, out of curiosity. I made an ascii-mandelbrot generator
in both POV-Ray SDL and Perl (which is a byte-compiled, interpreted scripting
language). They were line-by-line almost identical to each other, just with
the correspondent syntax of each language. The Perl version was something
like 20 times faster than the SDL version.
