Dunno, that wasn't my benchmark. It makes the web server go faster (e.g. guile examples/web/debug-sxml.scm). The reason it makes sense to optimize for this encoding is because it's our narrow encoding. If we switch to utf-8 internally (for example), this path doesn't make sense any more. >> +/* Read an ISO-8859-1 codepoint (a byte) from PORT.
