Sorry, what can say?
More memory and slow down!
If you see a progress, I'm seeing a regression.

Did you test Devanagari canonical decomposition? Probably
not. I did it.
I wrote probably more tests than any core developper
and tests doing precisely what this flexible representation
does (not like the tests I saw).

That's the good point of all this story.
It is not every day that, one has two implementations
of the same product, if one wishes to explain, to teach,
to illustrate unicode or the coding of the characters in
general.
Unicode is not different from the other coding schemes and
it behaves exactly in the same way. The solely and basic
difference lies in the set of the *characters* which is broader.
Unicode, the Consortium, uses the term, "Abstract Character
Repertoire".
