Speed up testing different sized strings for equality by adding a size text to String>>#=. Tis speeds up e.g. comparing the first 10,000 ByteString instances to each other by -67%.

The collation order is simple ascii (with case differences)." + (aString isString + and: [self size = aString size]) ifFalse: [^ false]. - aString isString ifFalse: [ ^ false ]. ^ (self compare: self with: aString collated: AsciiOrder) = 2!
