Lars Nordin added the comment:
Running the script without any timestamp comparison (and parsing more log
lines), gives these performance numbers:
log lines: 7,173,101
time output:
real1m9.892s
user0m53.563s
sys 0m1.592s

New submission from Lars Nordin :
The datetime.strptime works well enough for me it is just slow.
I recently added a comparison to a log parsing script to skip log lines earlier
than a set date. After doing so my script ran much slower.
I am processing 4,784,212 log lines in 1,746 files
