I've branched out this package and removed the C-extension. It's not documented in the package why a C-extension is needed or alternatively, what it benefits.

If there are no objections, I will merge this into trunk shortly.

IIRC, the C extension is needed to make messageids truly immutable. This guards against certain kinds of errors and also means they don't need to be security proxied, which probably gives a good speedup somewhere. +1 to documenting why this is a good idea. -1 on removing the extension. HTH - Jacob
