The reason is that igraph allows you to set the visual attributes of vertices and edges from vertex/edge attributes or from keyword arguments of the plot() call, and it needs quite a few extra data structures to keep track of that, therefore it consumes more memory and takes much more time than using a custom routine that "just" draws the nodes or the edges and does not collect the visual attributes from different data sources.
