You're right, it's a bug, it's wasn't deliberate.

I fixed "performance compile": it now pass --enable-unicode=ucs4 to
configure if the branch starts with "2.".

I'm running benchmarks with this option. Once results will be ready, I
will remove the old 2.7 result to replace it with the new one.

Note: Python 2.7 configure should use UCS4 by default on Linux, but
that's a different topic ;-)
