Hello everyone, I juste tried to launch the stringbench on python3.2 and python3.3 dev versions and some unicode tests run slower in python3.3 than in python3.2.

I cc the two raw output of both runs. I also extracted most interesting data (all the tests with more than 20% of performance regression):
- ("A"*1000).find("B") (*1000): -30.379747%
- "Hello\t   \t".rstrip() (*1000): -33.333333%
- "this\nis\na\ntest\n".rsplit("\n") (*1000): -23.437500%
- "\nHello!\n".strip() (*1000): -33.333333%
- dna.split("ACTAT") (*10): -21.066667%
- "Andrew".endswith("w") (*1000): -23.529412%
- "...text.with.2000.lines...replace("\n", " ") (*10): -37.668161%
- "\t   \tHello".rstrip() (*1000): -33.333333%
- ("A"*1000).rpartition("A") (*1000): -21.212121%
- ("Here are some words. "*2).split() (*1000): -22.105263%
- "Hello!\n".rstrip() (*1000): -35.714286%
- "B" in "A"*1000 (*1000): -32.089552%
