Yup, you probably mean "\\.\\(tex\\|ltx\\|dtx\\|drv\\)\\'". I'll fix that.

My LaTeX files are typically 100k, sometimes even 200k.

That seems like a good approach.
There is no need to search beyond a \begin{document}, is it? Maybe
that can be used as well: first search the first N characters for
\begin{document} and then search backward for \inputencoding{...} and
\usepackage[...]{inputenc}. You probably have to test this on a
number of files to see if it really helps.
Would you like to work on this?
Another idea is to change the regexps and search only for
\inputencoding{...} and \usepackage[...]{inputenc} at the start of a
line. That's where they typically are. This will speed up the search
dramatically. If you agree with it, I'll apply this fix for now.
Lute.
