I worked on a fairly large, distributed, soft-real-time system that made 
extensive use of Unbounded_String, so it's certainly "fast" enough for that.

Nothing is "slow" or "fast" in isolation; such concepts are meaningful only in 
comparison to quantified timing requirements. Statements like this are only 
encouragement to commit premature optimization.
