Surprise...

[Brian Milby]

I am pretty sure it was the unicode.  Notice that 7 took a major hit, but
then dramatically improved in 8 and had another step in 9 (for the item).
Doesn't look like the array portion changed much after the rewrite (did
take a slight step back from 7 to 8, but improved with 9).
