I cann't, I'm only facing the fact it works slower on my
Windows platform.
As I understand (I think) the undelying mechanism, I
can only say, it is not a surprise that it happens.
Imagine an editor, I type an "a", internally the text is
saved as ascii, then I type en "é", the text can only
be saved in at least latin-1. Then I enter an "€", the text
become an internal ucs-4 "string". The remove the "€" and so
on.
[snip]
"a" will be stored as 1 byte/codepoint.
Adding "é", it will still be stored as 1 byte/codepoint.
Adding "€", it will still be stored as 2 bytes/codepoint.
But then you wouldn't be adding them one at a time in Python, you'd be
building a list and then joining them together in one operation.
