I think most users don't turn off
unify-8859-on-encoding-mode, thus they don't need this
variables.

But, if unify-8859-on-encoding-mode is on, writing, for
instance, iso-8859-5 file gets about 1.20 times slower.  So,
poeple who frequently edit 10 mbyte files of iso-8859-5
encoding may want to turn it off.  Though, it's surely vary
rare.

As for utf-translate-cjk, the effect of speed down is amost
negligible.  So, once one turns it on, he won't turn it off.
