All strings in ASP are unicode. Setting the Stream object's encoding to
"UTF-16" might make a difference since it shouldn't have to encode the
string.

No such luck. The docs say that "unicode" is the default value of
..Charset, and explicitly setting it to "utf-16" or "utf-8" unfortunately
doesn't yield any performance gains.
