note 81722 added to function.mb-strpos

mb_strpos() used in a loop on a long string may become very slow even if you provide the $offset. Unlike strpos(), mb_strpos() has to skip the number of characters every call specified by $offset to get the real byte position used internally. (Whereas strpos can just add the offset.) If your encoding is UTF-8 and you try to find only single characters with ordinal <= 127 you may still use strpos(), substr(), ... This works cause every byte of a UTF-8 sequence is >= 128.
