 Since this was in "''600 entries in over 270 plugins''"* back in 2013 (and
 is almost certainly worse now) it would seem like a better way forward
 would be to tweak {{{do_shortcode()}}} to detect the case of a single
 shortcode being called, and if so, run {{{do_shortcode_tag()}}} directly.
 That avoids the overhead of scanning the entire {{{$shortcode_tags}}}
 array without adding a new function or requiring hundreds of plugins to be
 updated.

 I know shortcodes in general are up for a rebuild, but this seems like
 some very low hanging fruit that could improve performance across hundreds
 of plugins (especially for sites with large numbers of registered
 shortcodes) in the meantime.
