How about GC?

Try rerunning the test showing every time result.  If it seems that GC
is running pretty often, remember that every Iconv makes its own
1000-byte buffer, in addition to whatever bytes you use in parsing.

And of course encoding support has its own overhead.  How are those C
parsers in that field?
