Matt, you're right--re mb_* fund should be used, or you could mangle
multibyte chars.

Another note: md5 is case-sensitive! If using indexes as I have stated
above and using tables with md5 first letter, then remember to do
strtolower() for indexes and before doing md5!
Great optimizations, I especially like the sharding/partitioning. As
a Unicode geek I feel compelled to mention: I'm not sure PHP
strtolower is safe for multi-byte UTF-8. I'm quite sure it's not
safe in Ruby (you have to use string.chars.downcase). My PHP is very
rusty but I think the (slower) mb_strtolower is multi-byte character
safe. I don't think this affects the code you're using, but it's
always worth mentioning.
