cborutil: change buffering strategy Profiling revealed that we were spending a lot of time on the line that was concatenating the old buffer with the incoming data when attempting to decode long byte strings, such as manifest revisions. Essentially, we were feeding N chunks of size len(X) << len(Y) into decode() and continuously allocating a new, larger buffer to hold the undecoded input. This created substantial memory churn and slowed down execution. Changing the code to aggregate pending chunks in a list until we have enough data to fully decode the next atom makes things much more efficient. I don't have exact data, but I recall the old code spending >1s on manifest fulltexts from the mozilla-unified repo. The new code doesn't significantly appear in profile output.
