+        Use sprintf return value instead of invoking strlen on result.
+        In the old days this wasn't portable, since some sprintf
+        implementations returned char *.  But they died out years ago and
+        Emacs already assumes sprintf returns int.
+        Similarly for float_to_string.
+        This patch speeds up (number-to-string 1000) by 3% on Fedora 15 x86-64.
+        * ccl.c (ccl_driver):
+        * character.c (string_escape_byte8):
+        * data.c (Fnumber_to_string):
+        * doprnt.c (doprnt):
+        * print.c (print_object):
+        * xdisp.c (message_dolog):
+        * xfns.c (syms_of_xfns):
+        Use sprintf or float_to_string result to avoid need to call strlen.
+        * data.c (Fnumber_to_string):
+        Use make_unibyte_string, since the string must be ASCII.
+        * lisp.h, print.c (float_to_string): Now returns int length.
+        * term.c (produce_glyphless_glyph):
+        Use sprintf result rather than recomputing it.
+
         Clean out last vestiges of the old HAVE_CONFIG_H stuff.
         * Makefile.in (ALL_CFLAGS):
         * makefile.w32-in (LOCAL_FLAGS): Remove -DHAVE_CONFIG_H.
