I don't think that performances on a microbenchmark is the good question. The good question is: does Python conform to Unicode? The answer is simple and explicit: no. Encoding lone surrogates may lead to bugs and even security vulnerabilities. Please open a new performance issue after fixing this one if you have another patch improving performances. I didn't read the patch yet, but strict, surrogatepass and surrogateescape error handlers must be checked.
