TLDR; How do you figure out if code is inefficient (if it isn't necessarily
obvious) and how do you find a more efficient solution?
I use code wars sometimes to get some practice with Python, there was a
challenge to compare two strings and if string1 had enough characters to be
rearranged to make

That's correct sorry, I reassigned with replace back to string2, I forgot
that in my retyping of the snippet.
That makes sense, when it comes to strings and it taking so long. Thanks
for explaining that.

So should we always use sets or dictionaries if possible? Are these more
efficient because of not keeping track of their position?

Not always. If you want to know how often one entry/char occurs in a linear
storage like a list, a string, or a file, then you can loop over th
