PEP 393 and the need for a two-pass decoding process has made utf-8 decoding much slower, especially with the current generic implementation. Attached patch makes utf-8 more than twice faster, which means we're around 10-20% slower than 3.2 on non-trivial cases.

+1 nice!  A couple minor comments on the code review.
