I'll have to try this. The speed hit on using full SCSU was very noticeable.

Ultimately, I suspect what I should do is provide some means of 
letting the user choose the appropriate algorithm and trade-off 
between speed and space for their data, possibly via a system 
property, a flag in the class, or even a build-time option. However, 
that's going to have to wait for 1.1. For 1.0, I just want to pick 
something that's a reasonable compromise across the most common cases.
