'inputString' is a 5mb text file,

Since inputString is large you really should avoid causing it to be
copied over and over again which -[NSString
stringByReplacingCharactersInRange:withString:] is doing. You should
instead use a mutable string and -[NSMutableString
replaceCharactersInRange:withString:].

NSMutableString* tmpString = [[inputString mutableCopy] autorelease];
while([tmpString isMatchedByRegex:regexString]) {
      range = [tmpString rangeOfRegex:regexString];
      [tmpString replaceCharactersInRange:range withString:@""];
}
