Running the tests on a Crossref deposit library, when parsing XML files which have many authors it is much slower than articles with fewer authors. Tracking down one particular place where pre-parsing the <aff> tags before formatting authors results in a speed up by using the data in the loop, instead of looking up aff data in each iteration of the loop.
format_contributor() is modified to accept an optional target_tags_aff argument, otherwise the change should be fully backwards compatible.
