Good. Now we have a good reason to use mbstring rather than using iconv in cases when they serve the same. I also prefer using mbstring though i didn’t know it would be more faster than iconv :).

Good article Yannick: let’s check if we are the only ones curious about this!
It is worth to mention the empty callback (dummy_strlen) is a lot slower than what I was expecting: using builtin functions has a great advantage.
Also it’s logical to get some overhead because of the more complex encoding, but mb_strlen() is so quick that the difference respect plain strlen() is negligible.
