Well in my opinion it should be faster to parse the text
linearly each word and then do a lookup in a hashtable if
this word is a keyword or not. the problem if you do it the
other way around you have to look at the text multiple
times (for every regex). But that should be tested.

yup, this is not the focus of 0.4.0.
