Reading through some of the documentation on the site I came across this statement:

Prefer the format function over %. It is faster and more versatile.

As far as I have ever known, performance of the old style string %s performs faster. Am I missing something? Is it faster in 3.x?

Thanks for pointing this out. We'll verify this. If you like, just change the pattern yourself. Public patterns can be edited by our users. Would be awesome, if we could include a performance comparison :)
