The rules are only loaded once on first use, right?  I tested with

date; for x in $(seq 1 1000); do psql -X -c "select unaccent('foobar')" 
-o /dev/null; done; date

and this had the same runtime (about 8 seconds here) with and without 
the patch.

Btw., with the patch I get

WARNING:  duplicate source strings, first one will be used

so it will need to adjustments in how the rules are produced.
