Performance: I ran microbenchmarks for TextEncoder vs Buffer+utils and Buffer based is 50% percent faster for small, ascii strings. As we are using larger strings or we switch to eg. Japanese language the difference gets smaller, but Buffer is still definitely faster. We might want to fix the "dead code" or remove it in 4.0.1 (and re-add it in a future release) -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
