I want to answer this question: When Python completes a comparable application 2–10x slower than another language, why is it slow and can’t we make it faster? 

There are two things you should keep in mind:
 1. Don't wrap asynchronous tasks in another call to Task.Run().
 2. Don't use asynchronous wrappers over synchronous calls.
