Take Frozen Bubble, which is written in Perl. I have no problems running
this graphic intensive game on a 300MHz machine with full graphics on
without any bigger problems than a short framerate drop sometimes.

Or take pydance, which is a Dance Dance Revolution! clone written in
python, also using moving graphics, playing music and interpreting
signals from your dance mat.

So a P2P application, which does not shift data at GBit/s speeds between
interfaces should be no problem for a well implementet interpreted
language.

_And_ Python gets precompiled on the local machine, thus removing the
need to reparse the code everytime it is run.
