Throwing exceptions is a whole lot slower. But for what it's worth the cost of
try/except though is much cheaper on IronPython if no exception is thrown.
Here's the exception results on PyBench. Note these are actually results I
happen to have on my machine from a while ago - but nothing's been done to
change this part of the perf story in some time:
TryExcept: 56ms 3ms +1938.4% 56ms 6ms +830.4%
TryRaiseExcept: 88ms 2543ms -96.6% 88ms 2556ms -96.5%
Cpython took 88ms, IronPython took 2543ms. And clearly throwing exceptions is
quite expensive.

This has been my experience - I've worked round it by editing modules
to avoid nasty bits.
Not always practical but saved many seconds in my case.
Cheers,
