@ -580,8 +580,9 @@ Major performance enhancements have been added:
* Thanks to the :pep:`393`, some operations on Unicode strings has been optimized:
* the memory footprint is divided by 2 to 4 depending on the text
* encode an ASCII string to UTF-8 doesn't need to encode characters anymore,
the UTF-8 representation is shared with the ASCII representation
* getting a substring of a latin1 strings is 4 times faster
* TODO
