Do the problems have a significant impact on any real application (rather
than random tests)?

Any significant change in implementation such as this is likely to have
both positive and negative performance costs. The important thing is how it
affects a real application as a whole.

Unless others are unable to reproduce your observations.

If there is a big performance hit for text heavy applications then it's
worth reporting but you should focus your energy on distilling a
*meaningful* test case (rather than ranting about Americans, unicode,
latin-1 and so on).
