You have a good point here. I would have immediately thrown out the loop AFTER profiling. What hits me here is that I had an incorrect program with built-in unicode aware strings. This is counterintuitive to correct unicode handling throughout the std library, and even more to the complementary operation of appending any char type to strings.
I understand the issue, but I don't think it's resolvable. It's a lot like the signed/unsigned issue. Java got rid of it by simply not having any unsigned types.
