OK, perhaps the second time is a charm. I forgot that I had
hiredis forked from a long time ago, so the initial pull
request was hosed. :)
* Pulled in sdscatfmt() from Redis, and modified it to accept a
size_t (%T) style format specifier.
* Pulled in sdsll2str() and sdsull2str() from Redis (needed by
sdscatfmt).
* Added a new method, redisFormatSdsCommandArgv() which takes
and sds* as the target, rather than char* (and uses sdscatfmt
instead of sprintf for the construction).
I get roughly the following improvement:
Old: 1.044806
New: 0.481620

SDS is now broken out of Redis into its own project, so include
the latest version from the SDS repo.
This is a backport of the Redis commit doing the same to the bundled hiredis:
