Here are the changes to NT_fmt.c, and to ConvertUTF8.c/h. I set the buffer
to handle up to 95 utf8 byte strings. You asked for a reason to not go up
to 4x 27, and I have one. It starts to degrade performance. Likely due to
larger memory working set.

You do not know it in advance, but do know it 'after' the call, before you
load the buffers. Yes, there is benefit to reworking the loading logic a
little. Only a couple percent, but a couple percent gain is still a couple
percent gain.

I have no ideas.
