I assure you that I fully understand my ignorance of unicode. Until recently I 
didn't even know that the unicode in python 2.x is considered broken and that 
str in python 3.x is considered 'better'.

I can say that having made a lot of reportlab work in both 2.7 & 3.3 I don't 
understand why the latter seems slower especially since we try to convert early 
to unicode/str as a desirable internal form. Probably I have some horrible error 
going on(eg one of the C extensions is working in 2.7 and not in 3.3).
