Since I am new to font creation, what is reason for the better performance?
The best I can determine is that with WINANSI, we access the encoded
letters directly and with CID we access the glyphs to build the
letters??????????
For a winansi encoding, the glyph indexes are looked up in an
array. For a CID font, glyph indexes are looked up in IIRC a
hash table, where the mapping Unicode -> font index is stored
(which is generated on the fly).
The hash table lookup is certainly less friendly to HotSpot
than the array lookup, but I'm surprised the difference is
*that* noticable.
