Our documentation advises to not re-use a strbuf, after strbuf_release has been called on it. Use the proper reset instead. Currently 'strbuf_release' releases and re-initializes the strbuf, so it is safe, but slow. 'strbuf_reset' only resets the internal length variable, such that this could also be accounted for as a micro-optimization.
