Optimize manifest.add Testing shows that manifest.add is spending a significant percentage of its time running calcoffsets and doing text = "".join(addlist). This patch removes the need for both of these by storying the manifest in a character array, and using a modified bisect search to find lines without the help of a separate index of line offsets. manifest.add was also reworked to push delta construction/combination into the main loop.
