Re: Converting string to UTF-16LE

[Jarkko Hietaniemi]

I think I now managed to shave off the speed hit of those special 
casing tables quite well,
and all tests still pass (brute force removal of the tables made some 
tests of op/lc, op/pat,
and all of uni/* to fall flat on their face), now UTF-8 casing 
operations are "only" half
the speed of non-.  What basically happened is that every casing 
operation created a scalar
and then sprintfed into that scalar and then fetched using that scalar 
as a key - and all this
was done even when there was no chance of any of the special casing 
rules kicking in.
Duh.  I'll test the patch a bit more before sending it to p5p.
