No because of JIT compilation he would write code faster than Python by default. Now to truly rival optimized C++ code one has to do the tricks mentioned in this post like optimizing memory access, SIMD and maximizing instruction parallelism.
The key point is you are better off by default and can do some ugly stuff in the critical parts of the code while still using the same language.
I like this article from Daniel Lemire which explores this further

Even the free videos are valuable if you do not have experience deploying real world systems.
