#4927 Performance of 2.17.6 convert-ly rule

[David Kastrup]

Judging from the run-off on the terminal, the convert-ly rule for 2.17.6 takes an inordinarily large amount of time. Someone should figure out whether a particular conversion is responsible for it and see whether it can be written better (some regexps like .. are inherently expensive).

The file where this rule is found is python/convertrules.py
