Yep, I'm thinking I'll get at least 1 hour of sleep tonight, but could I optimize it for 2?

Eternal September never ends. Languages are not slow; parts of software systems are slow. Every non trivial program will be dependent on runtime support, special hardware, or a build process that breaks any sense of "this language fast; that language slow". OP will be happy to know there are OpenGL bindings for Python he can use to make Pygame projects faster than any C SDL project done with software rendering. Writing C in user space is not the same as writing it out of user space. C corresponds closely to your machines ISA, which was designed to for C programmers and C compiler writers, but not closely to how your hardware actually works. You still need to know C anyway.
