[issue28340] TextIOWrapper.tell extremely slow

[Rob Malouf]

New submission from Rob Malouf:

io.TextIOWrapper.tell() is unusably slow in Python 2.7.  This same problem was introduced in Python 3 and fixed in Python 3.3 (see Issue # 11114).  Any chance of getting the fix backported into the Python 2.7 library? It would make it much easier to modernize Unicode handling in libraries that have to support both 2 and 3 using the same codebase.
