Still, it seems to me that it should be optimizable for sensible builtin types such that .translate is significantly faster, as there's no theoretical extra work that .translate *has* to do that .replace does not, and .replace also has to rebuild the string a lot of times.
You should analyze overall mapping and reorder items in right order (if it possible), i.e. '&' should be replaced before '<' in html.escape. This extra work is too large for most real input.
