The fastest technique is AppleScript's TIDs, because you don't "waste time"
calling osax; but this technique misses reliability depending on the number
of occurences, length of the texts, etc.
In osaxen's world (including PPC osaxen), the fastest & powerful is
Satimage, as kim said.
If you're going to do simple search/replaces, such as search for "dog"
replacing with "pig" in "My pet is a dog", I'd choose TIDs way. The rest,
for Satimage!
