As others have said, the answer depends on many factors.  For example, 
despite being an interpreted language, Python might be the best choice 
if you can map the problem onto its numerical methods and array 
packages, as these will almost certainly be faster than anything you 
could write yourself in a sensible amount of time.  And if you can get 
the meat of the problem onto a graphics processor, you'll get much 
higher throughput than you could with languages like C - but only for 
very specific types of problem.
