I think that Linux will be much faster. The stxfrm() blob produced by
Mac OSX will have a horribly low concentration of entropy. For an 8
byte Datum, you get only 2 distinguishing bytes. It's really, really
bad. Mac OSX probably makes very little use of strxfrm() in practice;
there are proprietary APIs that do something similar, but all using
UTF-16 only.
