[BridgeAR]

This is roughly twice as fast as before.

Hum it looks like we don't have benchmarks for fileURLToPath. Did you use a script to test the perf improvements?

I ran a simple benchmark locally:

const cwd = process.cwd();
console.time(); for (let i = 0; i < 1e7; i++) encodePathChars(cwd); console.timeEnd()

I sometimes replaced cwd with different values. After looking at it again, it's not faster anymore after I simplified the implementation (using an object instead of an array). I might have missed running the benchmark again. It is probably not really worth the more difficult implementation, so I'm closing this again.
