[python-bugzilla] python-bugzilla performance question

Is it just me or does querying RH bugzilla version 5 through python-bugzilla now painfully slow? Queries that took seconds to come back now take 10-15 minutes.

Translating that same query into a bugzilla URL and clicking on it renders as expected within seconds but it seems querying with python-bugzilla now is almost unusable.

Am I missing something? Where am I going wrong here?

Thanks, -Dave
