Thanks.

Please note that there's nothing religious about this: if you come up with a counting version of the codec which has similar performance or is even faster, I'd have no objections at all about your checkin.

BTW, you could easily add your codec to the Python codec registry as e.g. 'utf8alt'. People could then enable it on memory starved machines by editing the codec alias list in encodings/aliases.py.
