Just what everyone wanted for the holidays, right? ;)

Well, we've finally found a good Unicode-compliant C-based Perl JSON
module called JSON::XS.

http://search.cpan.org/~mlehmann/JSON-XS-2.01/XS.pm

With some casual testing, the new module gives us a noticeable speedup
and reduction of CPU usage in the Perl applications.

The new code cuts out large swaths of OpenSRF::Utils::JSON and replaces
the logic with about 3 lines of new code.  The plan is to commit this
new code to OpenSRF trunk in preparation for OpenSRF 1.0.  I'll likely
make this commit tomorrow after some more testing.

I just wanted to give everyone a heads up.
