I don't believe so.  Although performance is undeniably worse for some
benchmarks, it is also better for some others.  Nobody has yet
demonstrated an actual, real-world program that is affected negatively
by the Unicode change.  All of jmf's complaints amount to
cherry-picking data and leaping to conclusions.
