Potted summary for those who aren't familiar with jmf's trolling:
Python 3.2 had a major bug in its Unicode handling, meaning that
non-BMP characters were mis-handled. Python 3.3 fixes these AND
improves performance on the whole. The complaints are about *very*
specific use-cases, and the overall string-handling benchmarks have
dramatically improved; but more importantly, the bug is fixed.

There, now you too can killfile him without loss.
