@xhochy @TomAugspurger @pandas_dev Maybe useful: github.com/hmelberg/healt…

Do you use @pandas_dev with string columns? Do you have code posted publicly that is not as fast as you would like? Please share! We will make strings faster in @pandas_dev soon but it would be nice to have real world benchmarks alongside that work.

@fonnesbeck btw: using format = 'latin-1' solves it for me.

@fonnesbeck Yes, evil, and quite common. Very confusing the first time, then - BOM! - and you never forget!

@fonnesbeck Thanks for coming, and thanks for the course you gave!
