mb_convert_encoding is way slower than utf8_encode on my system.  To
convert a 117 bytes (with 1,000,000 iterations) from ASCII to UTF-8 takes:

utf8_encode time: 15 seconds
mb_convert_encoding time: 46 seconds

Howerver, mb_convert_encoding() is able to deal with larger strings.  Eg:
50% of max memory instead of %25 max memory.
