Writing More Lines of Code Made Python 100% Faster

Comparing Python code performance: learn why shorter code with `with` might actually run slower than longer `try-finally` code in CPU-intensive tasks.

Python doesn't have much of a performance advantage in CPU-intensive scenarios.

In programmatic trading, the situation is unique: if no one else has the same capability, a slow algorithm won’t lose money. But when others do have similar algorithms, speed becomes crucial.
