Slow kotlinx.io.core.toByteArray

[Alex009]

i use kotlinx-io not directly - just by ktor. My project is mobile app with shared library for ios & android, when i send very large textcontent by ktor (4mb photo from ios device encoded by base64) app stuck on call kotlinx.io.core.toByteArray and worked with 100% cpu usage by 30mins, and after it request is done and all complete. For fast fix i create my own TextContent, which use not kotlinx.io.core.toByteArray, but kotlinx.serialization.toUtf8Bytes on iOS platform. Here code:

class LargeTextContent(
    val text: String,
    override val contentType: ContentType,
    override val status: HttpStatusCode? = null
) : OutgoingContent.ByteArrayContent() {
    private val bytes by lazy(LazyThreadSafetyMode.NONE) {
        text.toByteArrayPlatform(contentType.charset() ?: Charsets.UTF_8)
    }

    override val contentLength: Long
        get() = bytes.size.toLong()

    override fun bytes(): ByteArray = bytes

    override fun toString(): String = "LargeTextContent[$contentType] \"${text.take(30)}\""
}

expect fun String.toByteArrayPlatform(charset: Charset): ByteArray

android (original version of toByteArray):

import kotlinx.io.charsets.Charset
import kotlinx.io.core.toByteArray

actual fun String.toByteArrayPlatform(charset: Charset): ByteArray {
    return toByteArray(charset)
}

ios (fixed for my case):

import kotlinx.io.charsets.Charset
import kotlinx.serialization.toUtf8Bytes

actual fun String.toByteArrayPlatform(charset: Charset): ByteArray {
    return toUtf8Bytes()
}

when i debugging i saw this stacktrace:

here used versions:
kotlin_version=1.3.30
coroutines_version=1.2.0
ktor_version=1.1.4
klock_version=1.4.0
serialization_version=0.11.0

and i get this bug at this versions too:
kotlin_version=1.3.21
coroutines_version=1.1.1
ktor_version=1.1.3
klock_version=1.2.2
serialization_version=0.10.0

We're rebooting the kotlinx-io development (see #131), all issues related to the previous versions will be closed. Consider reopening it if the issue remains (or the feature is still missing) in a new version.
