See UTF-8 numbers here: https://cl4es.github.io/2021/02/23/Faster-Charset-Decoding.html - where we replace an ASCII-checking loop with an intrinsic: https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/2574/files#diff-e5a7e70ec8192692004da7744aa38f222c64697194fbdc5278a1945234bb57dcR231 Since most strings in classfiles can be expected to be relatively short then a vectorized intrinsic might not be much of a win. ------------- PR Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/20772#issuecomment-2325931262
