21052	force_bytes should handle the common case first like force_text	Aymeric Augustin	nobody	"The patch I'm about to commit makes `force_bytes` twice as fast in the common case — and twice as slow when it's called with a memoryview, but we don't use them that often in Django.

Before:

{{{
% python -m timeit -s 'from django.utils.encoding import force_bytes' 'force_bytes(b"""")' ~/Documents/dev/django
1000000 loops, best of 3: 0.705 usec per loop
}}}

After:

{{{
% python -m timeit -s 'from django.utils.encoding import force_bytes' 'force_bytes(b"""")' ~/Documents/dev/django
1000000 loops, best of 3: 0.376 usec per loop
