The CPU that ran it has a clock frequency of 1.4GHz, meaning that it does $1.4 \cdot 10^9$ cycles per second, totaling to almost $10^{15}$ for the entire computation, and about 880 cycles per multiplication in the innermost loop. +Let's try to put this number in perspective.

This is not surprising if you consider the things that Python needs to do to figure out what the programmer meant:
