- You could try to run stringbench, which can be found at http://svn.python.org/projects/sandbox/trunk/stringbench (*) and there's iobench (the text mode benchmarks) in the Tools/iobench directory.

Some raw numbers.

stringbench: "147.07 203.07 72.4 TOTAL" for the PEP 393 "146.81 140.39 104.6 TOTAL" for default => PEP is 45% slower

run test_unicode 50 times: 0m19.487s for PEP 0m17.187s for default => PEP is 13% slower

time ./python -m test -j4 ("real" time): 3m16.886s (334 tests) for the PEP 3m21.984s (335 tests) for default ... default has 1 more test!

Only 13% slower on test_unicode is good. There are still a lot of code using the legacy API in unicode.c, so it cam be much better.

stringbench only shows the overhead of the conversion from compact unicode to Py_UNICODE* (wchar_t*). stringlib does still use the legacy API.
