[issue18020] html.escape 10x slower than cgi.escape

[Matt Bryant]

Matt Bryant added the comment:

I did a few more tests and am seeing the same speed differences Florent noticed.
It seems reasonable to use .replace() instead, as it does the same thing significantly faster.
I've attached a patch doing just this.
