i have been using std::string for many, many years and have never needed to know how my specific standard libraries implement it. if i want to worry about performance, i do it by timing and profiling, not reading standard library code.

Really, you didn't care that C++11 forbade Copy-On-Write for std::string, or you never cared about the Short String Optimisation length that each platform supports?
