Maybe. What I do know is that Perl's regex functionality has been
*highly* optimized over the years. So, if the task is pattern
matching over large datasets, Perl is the language to use, even over
compiled languages.

Probably not. A monolithic TB-range file would be too unwieldy to
manage. Doesn't matter, though.
It would be impressive, though!!!!
