First and foremost, where you want to do this replacement? Do you want
it in a program you already use, like MS Word, AppleWorks or BBEdit? Or
do you want to do internally to a stand-alone applescript that doesn't
rely on any application? The answer changes depending on which answer
you select.
The fastest way I've found to do this with very long text files has been
to do it within BBEdit (or BBEdit Lite), which has exceptionally fast
search-and- replace capabilities (10,000 instances replaced out of
100,000 lines of text in under 90 seconds).
