How come srange is so slow compared to numpy arange?

sage: import numpy
sage: timeit('srange(1.5r,4r,universe=float,check=False)')
625 loops, best of 3: 40 µs per loop
sage: timeit('list(numpy.arange(1.5r,4r))')
625 loops, best of 3: 7.76 µs per loop
sage: 
srange(1.5r,4r,universe=float,check=False)==list(numpy.arange(1.5r,4r))
True


Is there a Sage command for constructing a list of python floats that 
gets equivalent speed as the numpy arange command?

Thanks,

Jason
