Very slow!

Great library makes it so easy to parse useragents but i seem to be using it wrong for i have been using it to parse apache access_log files of about 10 milion combined lines in about 3 hours. With cProfile i found i was spend the the majority of the time in user_agents and so after commenting out the user_agents.parse() call was able to parse all 10 million lines in 40 mins.

Is this normal or am i using it wrong?

Nevermind, imported ua_parser directly and called its Parse(), that is where the slow down is, not in your library. thanks

Yeah, there's an open issue attempting to address this tobie/ua-parser#162 . I also wrote a Django app for this and used a caching mechanism to significantly speed it up https://github.com/selwin/django-user_agents
