 ## 2026-09-01 - 대용량 문자열 서브스트링 스캐닝 루프 최적화
 **Learning:** 긴 텍스트에서 여러 기준 문자열(`candidate`)을 탐색하여 다음 구역의 시작점을 찾을 때, 텍스트 전체에 대해 반복적으로 `text.find(candidate)`를 호출하면 O(N)의 비효율적인 중복 스캐닝 오버헤드가 발생합니다. 특히 가장 가까운 시작점을 찾기 위해 모든 후보를 스캔할 때 이 문제가 심화됩니다.
 **Action:** 기준점(`start`)을 잡은 후, `idx = text.find(candidate, start, end)`를 사용하여 검색 범위를 동적으로 축소(`end = min(end, idx)`)하십시오. 이렇게 하면 불필요한 스캐닝 오버헤드를 막고 검색 범위를 안전하게 줄여 매우 큰 성능 향상을 얻을 수 있습니다.
+## 2026-09-21 - [대용량 텍스트 스캔 시 정규표현식 대신 네이티브 메서드 활용 최적화]
+**Learning:** 단순 공백 제거 및 문자열 정규화 작업에서 `re.sub(r"\s+", "-", ...)`를 사용하는 것은 파이썬 내장 메서드인 `"-".join(string.split())`에 비해 불필요한 정규표현식 엔진 호출 오버헤드를 유발하며 성능이 떨어집니다.
+**Action:** 단순 공백 치환이나 텍스트 정규화 작업에서는 항상 `re.sub` 대신 네이티브 C-speed 문자열 메서드(`split()`, `join()`)를 선호하여 마이크로 최적화를 수행하십시오.
