 ## 2026-02-14 - [Hoist Invariants and Inline Methods in Hot Loops]
 **Learning:** In hot loops (e.g. processing 100k+ items), hoisting invariant computations (string conversions, regex sanitization) and inlining method lookups (e.g., `match_rule = RULE_PATTERN.match`) avoids repeated function call overhead. Benchmarks showed ~20% speedup for validation loops and ~2x for simple sanitization hoisting.
 **Action:** Identify calculations inside loops that don't depend on the loop variable and move them out. Use local variables for frequently accessed global/object methods.
+
 ## 2026-02-04 - [Optimize Buffer for Large Downloads]
 **Learning:** When downloading large files (e.g., blocklists), the default chunk size of HTTP libraries might be small, leading to excessive loop iterations and list operations. Increasing the buffer size (e.g., to 16KB) reduces CPU overhead during I/O-bound operations.
 **Action:** When using `iter_bytes()` or similar streaming methods for large resources, explicitly set a larger `chunk_size` (e.g., 16384) to improve throughput and reduce CPU usage.
+
+## 2024-03-24 - [Avoid Regex on Simple Strings]
+**Learning:** Running complex regex substitutions on every log message (for sanitization) introduces measurable CPU overhead, especially when most strings don't contain sensitive patterns. Simple string checks (`in`) are orders of magnitude faster than regex execution.
+**Action:** Add early return checks (e.g., `if "://" in s:`) before invoking expensive regex operations in hot paths like logging or string sanitization.
 ## 2024-03-24 - Thread Pool Churn
 **Learning:** Python's `ThreadPoolExecutor` incurs measurable overhead (thread creation/shutdown) when created/destroyed repeatedly inside loops, even with small worker counts.
 **Action:** Lift `ThreadPoolExecutor` creation to the highest possible scope and pass it down as a dependency (using `contextlib.nullcontext` for flexible ownership).
