Except that you get a whole load of calls to strchr() for (typically)
very few characters.
So the cost of the calls dominates, anything that tries to speed up
strchr() for long strings will also slow things down.

Plausibly this version (untested) is faster!

char *strbprk(const char *str, const char *seps)
{
const char *found, *try;

do {
if (*!seps)
return NULL;
found = strchr(str, *seps++);
} while (!found);

while (*seps) {
try = memchr(str, *seps++, found - str);
if (try)
found = try;
}

return (char *)found;
}

Although I very much doubt strpbrk() is used anywhere where
performance matters.
