It's a shame that all this works flawlessly in Python, but the runtime makes everything prohibitively slow.

i can take 10,000 private keys and turn them into bitcoin addresses in 10 or 15 minutes or so using python. how is that prohibitively slow? thats on an old computer too. who would need to do that anyway and why?

It's simply a fact that Python is slow; it's an interpreted language. 10 to 15 minutes may still be acceptable in this case, but what if you need to analyze 1 million private keys? Or do something more complex with fewer keys? The same program in C or Rust can easily run 10-100x faster; so instead of 3 months a program would run for a day. That's quite significant.
