icu's string compare is very very slow when you just want to check for equality http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=ccc47b3db3eae25cc11bb709416c0b61747ca89e
Is it OK to break Unicode equivalence (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_equivalence) by doing a memory comparison? (I assume ICU does proper comparisons taking equivalence into account, hence why it's slow). Regards, --Muhammad
