Bug Description

As presented on the last nav-ref meeting. Using the generic "load-and-compare Django models" cycle for plugins in ipdevpoll causes this plugin to be a memory and I/O hog, as there are usually very large numbers of MAC addresses to processes. The addresses in themselves are quite small, so there is a lot of overhead we could get rid of here.

Some optimizations are ready for NAV 4.1, but these have only been tested on small data sets. The full effect is therefore not easily measureable, except for about 6MB of process memory saved when querying 66 devices.
