Are you using the same flavor of Stata across the two versions?  I regularly need to use regular expressions to clean up strings and haven't noticed any differences between MP versions, but did notice speed differences between v 12MP2 and v 13SE.

Depends what the question is, really. But you're showing that Stata 13
is slower at the same job than Stata 12. That's, I guess, an undesired
side-effect of rewriting string functions to cope with long strings,
even if you don't have long strings.
