You are not listening. I am saying that "string" is not appropriate
for containing arrays of bytes.
When the said byte is a char and it is converted to string anyway, I'd
say it is more than appropriate.

ahh.... the nice ultimatum.
It is not an ultimatum. Loading and converting strings in a fast way is
the first thing to do for me when you want to speed up document loading.
If this first thing is not done, it makes no sense to continue. I won't
have time in coming weeks anyway.
