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
