Or you could test it:

on mouseUp
   put 1000000 into n

   put the millisecs into t
   repeat n
      put ("this is a string with foo in it" contains "foo") into r2
   end repeat
   put the millisecs - t into t2

   put the millisecs into t
   repeat n
      put ("foo" is in "this is a string with foo in it") into r1
   end repeat
   put the millisecs - t into t1

   put t1 && t2
end mouseUp
