Might be worth a shot in Flash Player 8.  I am looking at some internal
performance tests for related functionality that are quite dramatic.
These are not vetted and intended for publication, and your mileage may
vary but you should see at least some improvements:

ParseXMLScenario  50-100% faster        
MoveArial               150-200% faster
RegEx           2000-2500% faster
StringAdd               10,000%+ faster
StringSplit     80-120% faster.

Repeat important caution: These are not official test results--we
haven't yet published any official performance data--they are some
internal tests that I am sharing soley for the sake of encouraging
others to take a look and see what their results might be, not to make
any specific claims at this time.  If your results vary, let the list
know what you learn.
