Henri Yandell commented on LANG-512:
------------------------------------

Completely missed that there's a literal based replace from JDK 1.5 onwards. 
Here are the stats when including java.lang.String.replace(CharSequence, 
CharSequence). Namely it sucks, at least on OS X.

Length: 19 replacing length 7 with length 6, 5000 times. 
LANG PERF: 0:00:00.018
REGX PERF: 0:00:00.066
JDK  PERF: 0:00:00.027


Length: 190 replacing length 7 with length 6, 5000 times. 
LANG PERF: 0:00:00.028
REGX PERF: 0:00:00.099
JDK  PERF: 0:00:00.097


Length: 1900 replacing length 7 with length 6, 5000 times. 
LANG PERF: 0:00:00.244
REGX PERF: 0:00:00.778
JDK  PERF: 0:00:00.796


Length: 19000 replacing length 7 with length 6, 5000 times. 
LANG PERF: 0:00:02.452
REGX PERF: 0:00:07.733
JDK  PERF: 0:00:07.687


Length: 17000 replacing length 17 with length 16, 5000 times.
