I agree that optimizations for ICU platforms would be nice. A few other considerations also come to mind. First, fixing rendering bugs (which are causing problems in real-world applications, see comments #6 and #11) is generally more important than platform-specific optimizations. Second, I am a volunteer: I have limited time, and I only have access to Linux machines. I could probably come up with a UText solution but I would need help. Third, the line-breaking functions in TextBreakIterator.h currently expect a UChar*, not a UText:

TextBreakIterator* acquireLineBreakIterator(const UChar*, int length, const AtomicString& locale);
void LazyLineBreakIterator::reset(const UChar* string, int length, const AtomicString& locale);

How would you suggest changing these functions so that they accept a UText when available and a String or UChar* when not? Won't any change here affect all platforms? If it affects all platforms, how can I test my changes?

Thanks for the help.
