From abb33198f28c9be8f3addfa9ce2ca33d8e9b0e4f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: kurok <22548029+kurok@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Fri, 28 Aug 2026 08:30:20 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Scan for MIME boundaries and base64 whitespace a word at a time find_from_u8 and the whitespace strip in decode_base64 tested one byte at a time and dominated parse_mail on messages with large attachments. Both now scan a usize at a time using the haszero/hasless bit tricks, in plain std, no unsafe. Semantics unchanged; tests compare both against the old loops over every byte value and alignment. Full parse of a 767 KiB message: 1.09 ms -> 0.23 ms.
