You know I didn't measured precise numbers. The script (which
I of course forgot to attach in first report) creates 65025
addresses and on exit it takes ~10 minutes (it also depends
on load on the host because I've been testing inside VM).

I'll create some kind of graph for that if you interested,
should I?

I'll test it David, in a couple of hours I hope. And report the
result.
