Comment:

 I ran into the l10n performance issue initially reported in #17128 on an
 Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (PHP 5.3.2, APC 3.1.3) system running Wordpress 3.3.1.

 I did some testing and meassured the response time for serving a single
 post page.
 Here are my numbers for Wordpress 3.3.1.
 || Feature || Response time || Performance hit ||
 || Stock 3.3.1, WPLANG not set || 139ms || 0% ||
 || WPLANG set to 'sv_SE' || 255ms || 45% slower ||
 || WPLANG set + patch from #17268 || 145ms || 4% slower ||

 As can be seen, the patch (native_gettext.patch) improved page response
 times by 43% compared to a stock Wordpress 3.3.1 installation where WPLANG
 is used.

 I would like to see this patch merged for 3.4.
