That is, in theory. In practice, it can make a big difference. Source: Worked professionally with large services built in Python and Rust.

Yes, I also suspect that at a certain scale it would make a difference, but with a single Postgres database and no advanced clustering or so, the real-life performance metrics of a medium sized Lemmy instance strongly point to Postgres being the bottleneck and not the Python or Rust codebase of the rest of the software.
