Re: [PATCH] Add string-replace-substring to (ice-9 string-fun)

[Linus Björnstam]

Did you try it with a "better" string-contains? IIRC the guile one is a naive 
string search (but in C) which could maybe be better if it was implemented as, 
say, a KMP search. The reference srfi-13 has one you could try. That could be 
faster for longer strings and longer patterns. 

If that is faster, I can port a constant-space one that I have in ocaml 
somewhere in the catacombs of my.computer.
