 Hi!  I took a quick look at how Stem parses descriptors, and tried running
 cProfile over a networkstatus parse.  I don't think I have all of the
 issues solved, but I managed to get a few of the hot spots calmed down for
 a speed reduction of about 30%.

 I don't promise that these are all correct, though I am pretty sure that
 the first one is a big win that you should take.  It accounts for most of
 the speedup that I'm seeing.
