AFAI Understand (having done some decent research on this) the 
"STringList forcing time consuming conversions) with Codepage aware 
Strings is only solvable by inventing an additional fully-code-dynamic 
String type usable as the basic interface for TStrings. IMHO, this is 
rather easily doable, but not Delphi compatible (See some former 
discussions.)
