You insist in cherry-picking a single "method where this FST behave
badly", even when it is so obviously a corner case (IMHO it is not
reasonably a common case when you have relatively big chunks of ASCII
characters where you are adding one single non-ASCII char...)
Anyway, these are my results on the opposite case, where you have a big
chunk of non-ASCII characters and a single ASCII char added:

IIUC, while it may be true that Py3 is slightly slower than Py2 when the
string operation involves an internal representation change (all your
examples, and the second operation above), in the much more common case
it is considerably faster. This, and the fact that Py3 actually handles
the whole Unicode space without glitches, make it a better environment
in my eyes. Kudos to the core team!
Just my 0.45-0.28 cents,
