Not likely, as the "just works" Unicode implementation is only in v7.

Has anyone filed a bug report against this?

The speed difference is enough that it if fixed may help offset 
performance degradation as a part of the Unicode implementation.

And since it predates the Unicode rollout, I'd wager it can indeed be 
fixed back to something closer to the v5.5.3 levels.

And if not, would at least be nice to know why.
