This is an excellent improvement!

Here's the different times I observed in building the fonts:

                        old ucs2any     this ucs2any
                        -----------     ------------
        gzip -1         9m17            5m49
        gzip -9         10m00           6m15

This is compressing the .pcf fonts to .pcf.gz, to show the overhead
of using different gzip levels versus other time.
