Here is a patch. Benchmarks (under Linux where realloc is fast; the gap may be wider under Windows):

$ ./python -m timeit "b=bytearray(100000)" "while b: b[:1] = b''"
-> before: 225 msec per loop
-> after: 60.4 msec per loop

$ ./python -m timeit "b=bytearray(100000)" "while b: b[:200] = b''"
-> before: 1.17 msec per loop
-> after: 350 usec per loop
