New submission from STINNER Victor <victor.stin...@gmail.com>:
Since 7be716a47e9d (issue #14716), str.format() uses the "unicode_writer" API.
I propose to continue the work in this direction to avoid more temporary
buffers.
Python 3.3:
1000000 loops, best of 3: 0.573 usec per loop
100000 loops, best of 3: 16.4 usec per loop
1000000 loops, best of 3: 0.705 usec per loop
100000 loops, best of 3: 2.61 usec per loop
Python 3.3 + patch (compared to Python 3.3):
1000000 loops, best of 3: 0.516 usec per loop (-10%)
100000 loops, best of 3: 13.2 usec per loop (-20%)
1000000 loops, best of 3: 0.574 usec per loop (-18%)
100000 loops, best of 3: 2.59 usec per loop (-1%)

If this patch is accepted, it's more to go even deeper: use _PyUnicodeWriter in
long_to_decimal_string() for example.
