Do you have the Cascade middleware in your middleware.py? It might be doing more searches for / and not /root/index. Routes itself I've benchmarked at about 18k matches per second with a fairly large set of Routes on a few year old machine. The matching algorithm is very simple, there's a list of regexp, and it tries them in order with the URL until one matches. That's why its more like the Cascade and StaticURLParsers is affecting the speed rather than Routes.
If this is a deployment test, remove the Cascade middleware entirely, and serve the static files with apache or nginx, etc.
