`gist` command is very slow with "large" amounts of text about alfredgist

[phallstrom]

Please provide steps to reproduce.

1. Copy the text in this gist to the clipboard: https://gist.github.com/mjball/c1b334d30b36e92ea85f
2. Activate Alfred; type gist and press enter
3. Wait minutes for the gist to be created

Also running into this issue.

Otherwise... great workflow!

When this occurs I notice high CPU usage by a bash process in Activity Monitor.

Is there any workaround for this?
I use gist to send some logs or server responses which are too large to just send over Skype/Hangouts/Whatever.
And sending 30KB text from clipboard takes minutes on my MacBook Pro :(

This high CPU usage was because of gist content escaping done in bash with multiple regular expressions. I've fixed it by escaping using json.dumps from Python – now gist uploads are instant. Hope it didn't break anything.

Everyone - This is fixed via #27 and a new workflow is available here: https://github.com/phallstrom/AlfredGist/blob/master/Gist.alfredworkflow?raw=true
