[New-bugs-announce] [issue15220] Reduce parsing overhead in email.feedparser.BufferedSubFile

[R. David Murray]

New submission from R. David Murray <rdmurray at bitdance.com>:

The idea for the attached patch comes from the QNX development team.  In their measurements, replacing the re.split-plus-line-reassembly code in BufferedSubFile with str.splitlines provided a 30% reduction in email parsing time.  The code is also a lot more readable, which is a plus.

The patch is simple enough, and the improvement is large enough, that I'd like to apply this to all active branches.
