[issue5803] email/quoprimime: encode and decode are very slow on large messages

[Dave Baggett]

Dave Baggett <jython at baggett.org> added the comment:

Yes, sorry, I meant "built-in list type" not "array". Your point about
using lists this way is valid, and is why I used array.array('c').
I will do as you suggest and try all three methods. I did time the
array.array approach vs. the one currently in the code and it was about
30 times faster.
