In `FileNameEvaluation`, replacing `QUOTE_SEPARATORS.matcher(str).replaceAll("")` and similar regex-based replacements with literal replacements like `str.replace("\\Q", "").replace("\\E", "")` removes unnecessary regex overhead. **Action:** When performing simple string replacements, always check if `String.replace()` can be used instead of `String.replaceAll()` or `Matcher.replaceAll()`, particularly in heavily used utilities like filename evaluators or caching keys. + +## 2024-05-11 - Regex overhead for literal replacement in Java 21 +**Learning:** Using `Matcher.replaceAll` with a compiled `Pattern` (even if cached inline or as a static final variable) incurs significant overhead for simple literal replacements compared to chained `String.replace()` in modern JVMs. Profiling showed ~650ms for `Pattern` vs ~145ms for chained `replace` for 1 million iterations. +**Action:** Always prefer `String.replace` over `replaceAll` or `Pattern.matcher` for exact string replacements.
