If you have whole country blocks that doesn't take as much checking as full octet ips like 192.161.0.1, if you have plenty of those then they are checked against each request, if you are blocking just 192.161 then its just one check against each request.
Im probably not explaining myself too well (it reads much better in my head  ).

No my Man, you actually are explaining yourself very well lol ...
All I know is that I have not had any negative effects from doing the blocks and I also have just a list of single IPs ..... and let me tell you , that list is long as hell lol ....
