We can already have relatively fast UTF8 reading when the file is
essentially composed of ascii.
I've demonstrated this a few years ago with SqueaXtreams
(http://www.squeaksource.com/XTream/)
For example, see
http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/squeak-dev/2009-December/141577.html
I don't want to sell SqueaXtreams, it was just an experiment, but the
good ideas should be extracted, we don't have to wait for a new VM.

Hi nicolas
This experience is ***REALLY*** interesting for me because I would
really like
replace all the streams by a modified versions (better API) of Xtreams.
