To understand that an assignment doesn't run that slow, you need to be told that.

Not really. You just try it, and notice it ran instantly. You don't really have to care how it happens to run behind the scenes, as long as you have a working model of the semantics. That's the entire point of most abstractions, to make it so that you don't have to think about all the details when you don't want/need to.
