Yes, all those objections apply to the string type as well. The fact that strings are variable length objects makes it impossible to do apply any of the possible optimizations I mentioned. If strings were a fixed length object, it would have been possible to write a true basestring object from which both 8-bit strings and Unicode subclass, making a lot of things easier. BTW: Please also see ticket #2321 to see how the change affects your benchmarks.
