[issue22687] horrible performance of textwrap.wrap() with a long word

[Serhiy Storchaka]

Serhiy Storchaka added the comment:

Possessive quantifiers (issue433030) is not a panacea. They allow to speed up regular expressions, but the complexity is still quadratic. Antoine's patch makes the complexity linear.
