All I can say is that if you're worried about the speed of a single line of code like the above then you've got problems. Having said that, I suspect that using an index to extract a single character has to be faster than using a slice, but I haven't run these through a profiler yet :)
The problem with using indices in the code sample is that if the string is 0 or 1 characters long you'll get an exception instead of a False.
