Note that [string map] most surely creates internally an ored
regular expresion. I verified this behaviour trying to optimize
some web answers of our servers, where using a bunch of regexp
or a [string map] had negligible differences in execution speed
(probably due to the multitasking environment).

Unless translate_entities does something more, like conditional
branches or patterns inside the expression, it should be just as
fast as [string map].
