Do you have an area of applications in mind that spends a big slice of its computation time on integer -> ascii conversions?
I don't know if the situation has changed now, but a lot of the "big data" systems I worked with several years ago liked to use text formats (JSON, CSV, TSV, XML) for their input/output --- and I always thought it was a pretty stupid idea, since the data volumes were in the gigabytes and terabytes range.
