 Profiling a page load with 61 remove_accents calls (sanitize_title does
 this) found that remove_accents was taking 86ms, or >1ms per call.

 I added this to remove_accents as a first line:
 {{{
 if ( !preg_match('/[\x80-\xff]/', $string) ) return $string;
 }}}

 This reduced the total execution time to 1.8ms, or 0.03ms per call. Nice
 savings.
