One thing I did notice is that I read the file into an adjustable vector, and that is the string I pass to the scanners. I suppose ppcre has to coerce that every time a scanner runs?

Yes, scan needs a simple-string. From the SCAN docs: target-string will be coerced to a simple string if it isn't one already. Cheers, Chris Dean
