'eng' claimed in original title that "urllib.parse.parse_qsl cannot parse large data".  On original PR, said problem with 6-7 millions bytes.

Claim should be backed up by a generated example that fails with original code and succeeds with new code.  Claims of 'faster' also needs some examples.

Original PRs must nearly all propose merging a branch created from main into main.  Performance enhancements are often not backported.

fwiw this sort of thing may be reasonable to backport to 3.9 as it is more than just a performance enhancement but also a resource consumption bug and should result in no behavior change.

"""
In case of form contain very large data ( in my case the string to parse was about 6000000 byte )
Old code use list of bytes during parsing consumes a lot of memory
New code will use bytearry , which use less memory
