Michael,
Windows NT has had this problem. However all Unicode applications can run
at close to the same speed. It took years to get there and the battle will
not be one until Me is replaced so that there is an all Unicode platform and
a new crop of applications is written as pure Unicode applications.
It is largely a chicken and egg issue.

Speed is an issue, it seems. The two third-party Mac demos that use the
Unicode keyboards under Mac OS 9 are very slow indeed.
