(also, I don't understand the spelling issue: "utf-8" just works) This is probably referring to the fact that while encode() accepts many spelling variants, some are short-circuited in C code while others require codec lookup implemented in python.

Isn't it cached after the first run? If this is the reasoning, I find it hard to believe that seed() is a large bottleneck in random.
