	Perhaps a plain vector may fit there?

	FWIW, using replace-match in the loop seem to speed up the
	routine by another few percents.

    (while (re-search-forward "\\([\"\\/\b\f\n\r\t]\\)\\|[^ -~]" nil t)
      (let ((c (char-before)))
        (replace-match
         (if (match-beginning 1)
             ;; Special JSON character (\n, \r, etc.).
             (string ?\\ (car (rassq c json-special-chars)))
           ;; Fallback: UCS code point in \uNNNN form.
           (format "\\u%04x" c))
         t t)))
