- “The UTF-8 decoding fast path for ASCII only characters was removed and replaced with a memcpy if the entire string is ASCII.” The fast path would still be useful for mostly-ASCII strings, which are extremely common (unless UTF-8 has become a no-op?).
Is it really extremely common to have strings that are mostly-ASCII but not completely ASCII?
Maybe not as "extremely common" as pure ASCII strings, but at least for western European languages, "mostly ASCII" strings are very common indeed. Stefan
