First, most of those patches have been closed from official side, don't really understand why:
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/buglist.cgi?query_format=advanced&short_desc_type=allwordssubstr&short_desc=&long_desc_type=substring&long_desc=&bug_file_loc_type=allwordssubstr&bug_file_loc=&status_whiteboard_type=allwordssubstr&status_whiteboard=&emailassigned_to1=1&emailtype1=substring&email1=&emailassigned_to2=1&emailreporter2=1&emailqa_contact2=1&emailcc2=1&emailtype2=substring&email2=ulf.zibis&bugidtype=include&bug_id=&chfieldfrom=&chfieldto=Now&chfieldvalue=&cmdtype=doit&order=Importance&field0-0-0=noop&type0-0-0=noop&value0-0-0=

Yes, I have many work prepared for performance tuning upon charsets, but I do not have JDK-8 
environment installed at the moment.

I'm in a kind of vacation from OpenJDK development. One reason is the missing appreciation from 
official side. All attempts to at least have an account on http://cr.openjdk.java.net/, for easier 
publishing webrevs, have ended in *no answer* regardless my activity:
