Looking at the file access benchmarks, there's a significant difference 
between LC6.7.8 and LC7/8.

Test_FileBinRead: 1,14,14
Test_FileBinWrite: 2,80,78
Test_FileTextRead: 1,156,77
Test_FileTextWrite: 2,96,94

I haven't looked at that section of the engine code recently, and I've 
got my own problems trying to build from source anymore, but it seems 
obvious that some optimization need to be applied to the routines. I 
have no doubt that the almost-two-orders-of-magnitude difference is due 
to unicode translation.
