I noticed during install that there were a number of large, repeated, regexp copies. I've tracked down and consolidated some of the low-hanging fruit and sent them along in this PR. It looks like there are further improvements to be had in item_revisions.tpa, creature_rebalancing.tpa, and final_patches.tpa but these look a little more involved so I'll review and pass along later.
A rudimentary install test with the --yes flag saw about a 6% speed improvement over the entire install on my SDD. Given that the optimization is mainly file operations HDDs will likely see a larger improvement.
