Bug description:
  [Impact]
  When using iproute commands with a large number of network devices (virtual ethernet adapters, etc) iproute performance becomes much slower.

  [Test Case]
  1) Download attached 'make_fake_routers.sh' and 'parse.py' scripts.
  2) ./make_fake_routers.sh 3000 ip > results
  3) ./parse.py results

  You should be able to graph and clearly see a performance improvement
  with the fix than without it.
