_filter_url() is slow because preg_match() is slow, use strcasecmp() when possible

I have a page where _filter_url() is 30% of the load time. The content has lots of markup and the $chunks array in _filter_url() ends up with over 5000 items. A simple change from preg_match() to strcasecmp() reduces my page load time for _filter_url() to only 20% of the page time, from 190msec to 120msec.

    Thank you for creating this issue to improve Drupal.

    We are working to decide if this task is still relevant to a currently supported version of Drupal. There hasn't been any discussion here for over 8 years which suggests that this has either been implemented or is no longer relevant. Your thoughts on this will allow a decision to be made.

    Since we need more information to move forward with this issue, the status is now Postponed (maintainer needs more info). If we don't receive additional information to help with the issue, it may be closed after three months.

    Thanks!
