Have you compared it to a decisition tree or lex style state mechine?

I have now implemented that too, it was not an immediate thing to do (I have 
removed the versions 2 to 5 to reduce code size on codepad):
http://codepad.org/zOmPeE13

The results are good:
Timings, ldc, seconds:
   test1: 4.48 // normal string switch
   test2: 2.98 // perfect hash
   test3: 2.09
   test4: 2.07
   test5: 5.44 // AA. Tango AA opIn_r is bug-slow
   test6: 1.18 // new result

I hope this is enough.
I have created that large finite state machine in D with a Python program :-)

Your test6 is invalid: it reads beyond the bounds of the given array. For example with input "th", it will check whether the third character is 'i'; but the length of the array is only 2, so it shouldn't be doing that.
