Help Required - Search and Replace

All,

I have a one big text file and also I have some set of strings to be
replaced by another set of strings. Currently, I am reading each line of
the file, and replacing one set of strings by another set of strings,
one after another. Is there any efficient way of doing this? The data is
so huge that this job takes around 7Hrs of total time on Sun Ultra 10.
Is there any way of efficiently doing this? Thanks in advance.

Thanks and Regards,
D.Rajanikanth
