I'm not sure, but I'll ask.
I have significantly improved the handling of Unicode Case in
PostgreSQL.
The improvements affect important functions such as lower(), upper(),
casefold().
Specifically, the patch has significantly reduced the size of Unicode
Case tables (and consequently the size of the object file).
We got a significant speed gain:
ASCII by ≈10%
Cyrillic by ≈80%
Unicode in general by ≈30%
But, unfortunately, I didn't see any mention of this improvement in the
release notes.
Hence the question to the community - are such improvements worth
mentioning?
I'm just new to the community, and want to understand.

I am now actively working on a major improvement to Unicode
Normalization Forms.
Thanks!
