take the code of Erti-Chris Eelmaa
and replace my previous one with this.
I don’t think I will do another iteration but i did learn a few thing with unsafe which is a good thing 🙂

//input = "ABCDABCABCDABCABCDABCABCDABCD";
//inputLength = input.Length;
//replaceBy = new string[] { "AA", "BB", "CC", "DD", "EE" };
//my own string.indexof to save a few ms
int len = inputLength;
fixed (char* i = input, r = replace)

Parallel.For(0, replaceBy.Length, l =>
