Is it "more simplist" in terms of reliability?  Generally
most people writing low-level socket code, even in Python,
do an absymal job of it.  Far better to avoid reinventing
the wheel and use something higher level where the odds
are good that most of the nitty-gritty details have been
handled and tested already.

And as for "30x faster", please repeat after me: "premature
optimization is the root of all evil in programming".
