Absolutely.

For short strings, doing this sort of parsing in bash is fine.  But as
you can see, on large inputs, it does not scale well.  The fact that each
iteration makes a *copy* of nearly the entire remaining input doesn't
help matters, either -- right off the bat, that algorithm makes the run
time explode, even before you take into account bash's 100% interpreted
runtime slowness.
