looks like it just needs detailed testing instructions showing what to expect post / pre to me.

If part of the testing procedure is reproducing the issue, and it can't be reproduced, can you safely say that the patch fixes the issue? In a lot of cases, it may be trivial, but that is a mildly important step in resolving issues.
"Nothing will change, but it should be a bit faster" seems to me to be good testing instructions (actually "Nothing should change, but it should be a bit faster" is a wee better...)

in the specific example of speed testing, what exactly is the problem measuring speed?

I don't know to whom or what you are referring, but here's my point: If a PR improves performance, that is measurable to some % on localhost for example. If not, the test might be: function operates as expected with no measurable change in speed". In the case of the latter, the test is "operate as normal" which can be described for whatever function/feature is being tinkered with.
BTW, you have all my sympathy: I too had a PR that seemed to be forgotten (maybe it really had) for months (it is now merged).
I don't know how to read regex expressions and I don't know from memory what exactly that regex is supposed to do. So I can't judge the impact by just reviewing it. I would have to put in considerable time to figure that out, which I have no. So I have no clue what you did in this PR and would need detailed description what it does and how it could be tested.Means provide step-by-step instructions how to see the difference in code and explain exactly where we have to look for the changes in behavior. It mentions "additional spaces between attributes". In which cases and which attributes (I suppose in the URL, but it doesn't say that). Always explain the change in words so that a regular user could understand it, or at least test it. Many testers are not developers.Look at PRs from Nicholas (nikosdion) for excellent examples :)
