Terry J. Reedy <tjre...@udel.edu> added the comment:
Is
str = str.replace('xxxxxxxx', 'x')
str = str.replace('xxxx', 'x')
str = str.replace('xx', 'x')
str = str.replace('xx', 'x')
really faster than
_squashex = re.compile('x+').sub # top of file
_squashex('x', str)
And are the name bindings faster that regex.func(...)?
