💡 What: Replaced byte-by-byte iteration in `_decode_yenc_lines` with `bytes.translate()` and `bytes.find()`.
🎯 Why: Iterating over bytes in pure Python is a major performance bottleneck for yEnc decoding.
📊 Impact: Expected to provide a ~10x speedup in the `_decode_yenc_lines` function.
🔬 Measurement: Verified with a custom benchmark script showing decoding time dropped from ~2.2s to ~0.2s for 10k lines of 128 bytes.
