NetworkX(pure python with dict as the data structure) itself will never be faster than any C++ based library (I think GraphLab doesn't even exist now?) but with the new experimental backend plugins, you should be able to use NetworkX API and dispatch the computation to more efficient backends like GraphBLAS, and hopefully CuGraph in the future (if you have GPUs).
