That's a good sign.  Unfortunately I cannot reproduce it myself - on
the aforementioned beefy amd64 box, I'm seeing a very small but
consistent slowdown on the same test (4m20 before, 4m21 after).
oprofile is not cooperating with me (zero samples recorded, no matter
what I do), so I don't know why.

Having the utf8 copy constructor jump up in the profiles is to be
expected; this _is_ doing more copying around of utf8s.  [Vocab items
in general seem to have a lot of extra gubbish attached to them - .ok
booleans, symtabs, and now Tim's made them all double indirect - whose
value I really have to question...]

Cool, thanks!
