Very valid point !

So we could have an auto-converting compare function in the RTL, that 
(when finding different encodings) does not do a complete conversion 
first and comparing afterwards but converts each multi-byte character of 
both strings to the 32 bit Unicode character and compares thee two 
DWords, and stops after the first difference.
