Script Preparation code:

var cnt = 500 * 1024;
var str = []
for(var i=0; i < cnt; i++) {
  str.push( String.fromCharCode(Math.random() * 94 + 32) );
}
str = str.join("");

var regex = function(count) {
  var rgx = new RegExp("[\\s\\S]{1," + count + "}", "g");
  var parts = str.match(rgx);
};

var slice = function(count) {
  var parts = [];
  for(var i = 0, len = str.length; i < len; i += count) {
    parts.push( str.slice(i, i + count) );
  }
};

var substr = function(count) {
  var parts = [];
  for(var i = 0, len = str.length; i < len; i += count) {
    parts.push( str.substr(i, count) );
  }
};
