I notice it's extremely slow!
Maybe 50 times slower than in Python..

Is there any better/faster alternative?

Without doing any profiling I'd say this character concatenation 
while decoding is probably a large source of any slowness.

Switching it to Appender or doing some sort of batch processing 
would probably help a lot.  Even just a .reserve() would probably 
do wonders.
