It's active state build 805 which I believe is no threads.
Isn't PerlIO responsible for unicode?
Isn't there a way to say: don't expect encoding; go fast?
If not, why not?

I doubt it. Check the output of perl -V.

Supporting unicode means changes in every part of perl. Regex, for exmaple.

Do you have any idea how hard that is to do in a large and complex codebase like perl5? Parallel code paths for every operation? It's just not feasible.

I'm very worried/intrigued by this (as I work for a company that's developing a data profiling tool with perl and we mainly use ActivePerl). Have you tried upgrading to 806?
