Why is feature x in netaddr slower than version x in a similar library?
netaddr is under active development and this question is becoming more irrelevant with each new release. As a general rule netaddr follows the conventional wisdom that states :- • make it work • make it work right • make it work fast From release 0.6 onwards, a lot more emphasis is being placed on performance improvements as much of the core infrastructure code is now in place and working well.
