is pycontrol slower than the perl API?

I'm in the process of porting over some perl code to python and have noticed that getting data back is much slower with pycontrol. Has anyone else noticed this?

 

 

the most basic example I have that demostrates this, well at lest for me, is getting a list of Virtual Servers. In perl getting the interface to the F5 and using get_list is very quick, undes 2 secs, while in python it takes 10+ secs.

 

 

 

any help or suggestions is welcomed.
