Indeed, running the benchmark against /usr/share/dict/words gives an
overall speedup of more than 7x:

The bigger the sample the greater the speedup because inflections are the
exception. The majority of words are inflected using the last rule, so the
difference in the technique to loop is bigger.
This should happen also in real life, the exceptions are rare, in general
most words will be applying the last rule.
