Have you considered coding a faster string search algorithm like Boyer-Moore?

Subject: SCAN vs %scan

has anyone benchmarked speed comparison of using SCAN versus %SCAN?

I inherited and am maintaining a fixed-format RPGIV program which uses SCAN
to scan strings for certain values (hundreds of occurences of the SCAN
opcode), and I am wondering if I can get any kind of performance improvement
if I change them to use %scan instead.
