 * non-BMP strings (``U+10000-U+10FFFF``) use 4 bytes per codepoint.
 
-The net effect is that for most applications, memory usage of string storage
-should decrease significantly - especially compared to former wide unicode
-builds - as, in many cases, strings will be pure ASCII even in international
-contexts (because many strings store non-human language data, such as XML
-fragments, HTTP headers, JSON-encoded data, etc.).  We also hope that it
-will, for the same reasons, increase CPU cache efficiency on non-trivial
-applications.

-.. The memory usage of Python 3.3 is two to three times smaller than Python 3.2,
-   and a little bit better than Python 2.7, on a `Django benchmark
-   <http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2011-September/113714.html>`_.
-   XXX The result should be moved in the PEP and a link to the PEP should
-   be added here.
