If you are building algorithmic execution models for Bitcoin, you already know the pain of latency. The moment you rely on polling a standard Bitcoin Core RPC, you have lost the race.
The Bottleneck
Standard nodes are built for consensus and safety, not speed. When a transaction enters the mempool, the node validates it, indexes it, and writes it to disk. By the time your Python script polls the RPC and receives the JSON, proprietary trading desks with direct network access have already executed their trades.
The Bare-Metal Solution
To compete with enterprise Blockchain Distribution Networks (BDNs), you have to bypass the RPC entirely.
