At the cost of some redundancy, you might be able to speed it up a
little bit by requiring that it start with at least one of the words
like

  /\%(\<\%(quick\|brown\|lazy\|jumps\)\>\)\@=\%(.\{-}quick\&.\{-}brown\&.\{-}lazy\&.\{-}jumps\)/

so it won't start looking for the other terms until it's found at
least one of them, cutting out a lot of non-starter cases.
