There's no downsides that I'm aware of.

vBulletin itself isn't 100% UTF-8 compatible, though.
I can't comment on speed increases, never tried it tbh.

At any rate, it shouldn't be necessary to make them switch when it can work via that simple function, no?

Ah... well that explains it, thanks. As for UTF-8, there actually is a reason to use it with this mod. This mod pulls in XML data from external sources, and UTF-8 is the first and foremost supported character set for the XML standard. I guess I'll just set this mod to force UTF-8 on the XML queries, instead of pulling in vbulletin's charset.
