Not to put too fine a point on it, but either you want locale-sensetive
sorting or you don't. If you do, you need to realise the cost
associated with it. Correctness above speed after all.

Which reminds me, I should probably finish that COLLATE patch. Then you
could choose between:

'putty' = 'putyty' COLLATE C       (false)
'putty' = 'putyty' COLLATE 'hu_HU' (true)

Have a nice day,
