I believe you it's faster in this case, but regex is usually faster than one might think. It is after all calling an optimized C library to do all the work :-)

What is more surprising to me is how fast offset() is in Revolution. It's almost as fast as the TextChuncher Xtra for Director. TextChuncher Xtra was based on parts of C's string class and was written in C. It has a findAll() function that returns a numbered array of all instances found.
Whenever you can extract or parse information without using a repeat loop it really speeds things up. I would love a transcript findAll() kind of offset function that does it all in the C library and returns it all in a numbered keyed array. This could be highly useful for creating indexes on the fly.
