I ended up making a single QVariant and return that over and over again, 
helped to speed it up:

    def data(self, index, role):

        if role != DISPLAY_ROLE:
            return EMPTY_VARIANT
       
        if not index.isValid():
            return EMPTY_VARIANT

        el = index.internalPointer()
        return QtCore.QVariant( el.get(self.__columns[index.column()][1]) )
