Sorry it is kind of quick question (am not reading all of this thread)
but is that ByteEncoding related allocation a problem in ByteEncoding
or in whatever calls ByteEncoding.GetString() ? It of course allocates
a string per call. If the number of allocation is equivalent to the
number of calls, then it is rather caller side matter.

(If something need to convert bytes to chars like a sport, GetBytes()
could be used instead).
