On my system those two version were pretty much the same, not that the one that is run first is faster due to caching, etc but after that they were indistinguishable on performance
I did get some about a 50% reduction in runtime using index and substr:
With 1 Million records average times were Original 10.580s; Don 10.430s; This 6.190s

alarm
ALARM(2) Linux Programmer's Manual ALARM(2)NAME
alarm - set an alarm clock for delivery of a signal
SYNOPSIS
#include <unistd.h>
unsigned int alarm(unsigned int seconds);
DESCRIPTION
alarm() arranges for a SIGALRM signal to be delivered to the calling process in seconds seconds.
If seconds is zero, no new alarm() is scheduled.
In any event any previously set alarm() is canceled.
RETURN VALUE
alarm() returns the number of seconds remaining until any previously scheduled alarm was due to be delivered, or zero if there was no pre-
viously scheduled alarm.
CONFORMING TO
SVr4, POSIX.1-2001, 4.3BSD.
NOTES
alarm() and setitimer(2) share the same timer; calls to one will interfere with use of the other.
sleep(3) may be implemented using SIGALRM; mixing calls to alarm() and sleep(3) is a bad idea.
Scheduling delays can, as ever, cause the execution of the process to be delayed by an arbitrary amount of time.
