The minor snag that you might like to correct with your microbenchmark,
which any experienced Python programmer knows, is that you *NEVER, EVER*
create strings like this.
Why not? Chris said his version runs much faster (even allowing for
different machines), and might have a special optimisation for it.
And I think it can be optimised if, for example, there are no other
references to the string that s refers to.
So what's wrong with trying to fix it rather that using a workaround?
The mere fact that you have to ask indicates quite clearly that you know
nothing about Python. I'm not going to spoon feed you, go and do your
own research.
