It "seems"? Try it and only "fix" it if it proves to be a problem, i. e. if 
the regex searches take a significant part of your scripts runtime.

If the matches are in fixed order you can start the search for the second 
match at the position after the first one. Or you try to combine both 
patterns into one regex.
