[Glass] Awfully slow GRUtf8CodecStream

[Dale Henrichs via Glass]

Mariano,

It looks like you've hit a known problem[1] and I just  haven't gotten
around to installing the bugfix in Grease... There is a useful discussion
about this in the Seaside31 issue #21[2] and for 3.2.2 we added a
primitive, but I have yet to add the primitive call to the Grease base[3].

The patches are in Smalltalk, so if you'd apply the patches and let me know
if they address your issue or not that'd be great.

I'm in the final throes of fixing a whole a pile of Metacello bugs[4], but
I should be able to get around to the Grease patch in a couple of days if
you want to wait ...

Dale
