New submission from Serhiy Storchaka <storch...@gmail.com>:
Charmap decoders are not as important as UTF decoders, but are still widely
used. In Python 3.3 with PEP 393 they slowed down 4x. The proposed patch
restores the performance.
Optimized only the most common case, when the decoder is specified by the UCS2
table with length >= 256. Map-based decoders translated to table-based. UCS1
tables widened to UCS2 by adding 257th fake characters.
Benchmark results:
3.2 3.3(vanilla) 3.3(patched)
cp1251 'A'*10000 111 (+10%) 31 (+294%) 122
cp1251 '\xa0'*10000 111 (+8%) 29 (+314%) 120
cp1251 '\u0402'*10000 111 (+6%) 25 (+372%) 118
