declaring queue=b"" creates an object of types bytes().
bytes() is an immutable object, and therefore doing "self.queue = self.queue + r"
creates a new object containing "self.queue" concatenated with "r".
On my test setup, we are passing 180MB of data of "workerdata" to the bitbake-worker,
so those copies significantly slow down the initialization of the bitbake-worker.
Rather use bytearray() which a mutable type, and use extend() to avoid copies.
In my test setup, byterray.extend() is 10.000 times faster than copying the queue,
for a queue size of 180MB.
