"As fast as possible" is a platonic dream. They only need to be fast enough not to be bottlenecks. If you know of a Python workload where UTF-16 decoding is the bottleneck, I'd like to know about it :-)

"As fast as possible" is a platonic dream.
They only need to be fast enough not to be bottlenecks.
If you know of a *Python* workload where UTF-16 decoding is the
