Yup. I applaud your efforts, but it does come with a slight overhead,
except where it replaces faulty code. In practice, it's probably better to use the api for all the string-handling, as none of it is performance-
critical.

Have any performance numbers been posted yet? I thought some had and that they showed pretty much no statistically-significant difference (or maybe I'm thinking of David's pack-index patch...)

Performance is a very important question (given that Git is self- described as a "Fast Version Control System"), but right after it come the questions of maintainability and robustness: if the string API makes the code easier to read (better maintainability) and harder to make mistakes (more robust) then that needs to be weighed up against the performance changes (if any can be measured).
