Before rewriting it in a compiled language, let's see how much speedup we can do within Python. We use the Aho-Corasick automaton algorithm to do multiple pattern matches in secret redaction. On my machine this improves the speed of secret redaction by 50%. pyahocorasick is added as a dependency.
We do anonymization in one pass after parsing, like how secret redaction is done. This also makes it easier to implement new providers without the need of calling the anonymizer everywhere.
