For me the speed of input/output is less relevant, this is limited by disk

That's highly dependant on what you application does! If your
application primarily parses text files, it's relevant. :-)
Shortstrings & ansistrings won't go away. You'll still be able to code
fast text file parsers. Note that in such cases your application won't
process unicode, taking the numbers example again: As soon as your
application accepts arabic numbers everywhere western numbers are allowed,
you want the parsing to happen in UTF-16.
