How did you measure this?

I'm a little surprised because this is an approach that I recall taking 
earlier in a different part of the code and we moved to something more 
like what we have now because it was faster (and then we moved to 
something faster still, and then again to something even faster. However 
I haven't gotten around to making those 3rd and 4th optimizations in 
UnicodeUtil.) Perhaps JIT characteristics have changed since then.
