> The Lua API string.gsub will also take a pattern as an argument. I am assuming that because of the assumption that a pattern may be present as an argument, there will be additional processing that will be done every time a string comparison is made.

given string. Despite the name, it does not. So, no, this does not
affect string comparison.
