Yes, that's correct. In short, using of python API binding makes possible
to execute all operations inside just one opened libvirt connection. Virsh
CLI opens new connection every time when you call it. Every new connection
produces a fork of libvirt daemon. When you're going to spawn/create/modify
few dozens of VMs in short period of time this performance issue becomes
very noticeable.
