I spent a bit of time using cProfile in Python to see where my program was slow, and optimize. Some dict initialization was also slowing me down, but my feeling also is that regex will probably be a fair bit slower than the string comparison. Also yeah, my next attempt is going to do some other stuff, I moved to rust to speed it up, but its mostly a learning exercise. Thanks for sharing!
