[igraph] Random regular graph

[Raphael Clifford]

I would to create large random regular graphs (in python).

I am currently using

size = 50000
degree = 6
g = Graph.Degree_Sequence([degree]*size, method='vl')

for example.  It is rather slow (47 seconds on my admittedly slow
computer) even at this size and in fact I would like to make much
larger graphs. By way of comparison an equivalent Erdos_Renyi graph
takes about a second to make. Is there a better way to do this?
