ok, but IMHO about 50 times slower, is an exaggerated side-effect

Depends what the question is, really. But you're showing that Stata 13
is slower at the same job than Stata 12. That's, I guess, an undesired
side-effect of rewriting string functions to cope with long strings,
even if you don't have long strings.
