💡 What: Replaced byte-by-byte iteration in _decode_yenc_lines with bytes.translate() and bytes.find().
🎯 Why: Iterating bytes in python and running loop logic is computationally expensive for large payloads. This is a critical path for verifying yEnc articles.
📊 Impact: Roughly ~6x speedup during raw byte decoding (0.186s -> 0.028s for 1MB of representative yEnc data). Reduces deep verification time significantly.
🔬 Measurement: Run a deep check on any NZB. Alternatively, test suite confirms all logic remains correct.

Replaces slow byte-by-byte while loop iteration in `_decode_yenc_lines` with C-level methods (`bytes.translate`, `bytes.find`). This improves performance for yEnc decoding, which is a major bottleneck during deep checks. Benchmark tests indicate ~6x speedup. Math around escaped bytes has been collapsed for better speed.

📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved yEnc file handling with enhanced error detection for malformed escape sequences.
  • Performance

    • Optimized yEnc decoding process for faster file processing.

Walkthrough

The verify_nzb.py module's yEnc decoding logic is refactored from a character-by-character loop to a precomputed table-driven approach. The new implementation uses a _YENC_DECODE_TABLE to translate bytes and employs conditional fast and slow paths based on the presence of yEnc escape sequences, while preserving error validation for incomplete escapes.

Changes

yEnc Decode Table Optimization

Layer / File(s) Summary
yEnc decode table and table-driven decoder
verify_nzb.py
A precomputed _YENC_DECODE_TABLE byte lookup table replaces per-byte decoding. The rewritten _decode_yenc_lines function fast-paths lines without = escape characters via direct table translation and slower-paths lines with = by scanning for escapes and applying yEnc escape decoding rules, preserving the existing dangling-escape error case.

Poem

A rabbit hops through bytes so fast,
With tables built to beat the past,
No more loops slow, now lookups gleam,
The yEnc decoder's swifter dream! 🐇✨
