RangeIPLookup was designed for fast lookups and to scale well with the number 
of prefixes, OTOH it suffers from poor updating speed.

Could you post some results of your experiments, and perhaps a bit more 
details on your test setup?  I'm quite curious how does RangeIPLookup fare 
aginst the other lookup elements with current hardware...
