Thanks to Adobe’s Michael Daumling. From the the bug:

The new strings pass the acceptance tests on Win VC 2005 and Mac. On Win, all
SunSpider tests run three times faster. The very slow string-validate-input
tests run 15-17 times faster. Even with these tests excluded, SunSpider runs up
to 20% faster.

    I always wondered why XPCOM strings weren’t “variable-bitlength” although I would have suggested adding two more types, ASCII and UTF8.
