  == Collation Optimizations ==
  
- Right now CouchDB uses the [http://www-306.ibm.com/software/globalization/icu/index.jsp ICU library] from IBM for collation support. CouchDB currently uses a rather slow method of interfacing with the library, which is to copy the UTF8 string lists to binary buffers and then provide the buffers to ICU to do the comparison. More optimized methods of interfacing with ICU could be used, or just do the collation in native erlang using generated code to create the collation tables.
