And only users of wide builds will see a 20% decrease in speed for this 
data (with longer strings Python 3.3 will outstrip Python 3.2). This 
happens because of the inevitable transformation UCS2 -> wchar_t and 
wchar_t -> UCS2 on platform with 4-bytes wchar_t. On Windows there 
should be no slowing down.
