A couple of minor comments:
- “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?).
- You could trim the debug results from the benchmark results, this may
make them more readable.
- You could try to run stringbench, which can be found at
http://svn.python.org/projects/sandbox/trunk/stringbench (*)
and there's iobench (the text mode benchmarks) in the Tools/iobench
directory.
(*) (yes, apparently we forgot to convert this one to Mercurial)
Regards
Antoine.
