[New-bugs-announce] [issue6117] Fix O(n**2) performance problem in socket._fileobject

[Kristján Valur Jónsson]

New submission from Kristján Valur Jónsson <kristjan at ccpgames.com>:

the socket._fileobject._wbuf is a list of strings to output.  This patch 
keeps the length of this buffer as a separate member variable, rather than  
computing it dynamically, which sums to a O(n**2) operation as the buffer 
is filled up.  Significant performance degradation was observed when 
outputting lots of small data to a buffered socket using the old method.
