Ran another test. I tested on the string
'<&<&<&herllowodsiojgd<&sd<^<6&&"""' repeated 50 times, and I ran the
replacement function 500,000 times. The results were:

htmlspecialchars with ENT_NOQUOTES: 14.025s
htmlspecialchars without ENT_NOQUOTES: 13.457s
strtr: 24.842s
str_replace: 13.184s

Of course, these numbers tend to vary +/- 0.25s every time, so take it with
a grain of salt.
