Absolutely. But the original version linked was twice as slow as need be.
For trivial replacements string manipulation I find is faster and safer (fewer bugs). But there is some threshold of complexity in which regular expressions are both more performant and safer.

If I am reading the chart correctly, doubled performance would still not be enough.
