That's all well for the speed, but let's check correctness:

Testing string: fox comes and fox goes into forest 

Holli  : fox comes and the fox goes into forest
Roy    : fox comes and the fox goes into forest
Borisz : fox comes and the fox goes into forest
shltn  : fox comes and the fox goes into forest

Every solution got that one right.

Testing string: fox comes fox walks and fox goes into forest 

Holli  : fox comes fox walks and the fox goes into forest
Roy    : fox comes fox walks and the fox goes into forest
Borisz : fox comes fox walks and the fox goes into forest
shltn  : fox comes the fox walks and fox goes into forest

Three foxes trip up shltn.

Testing string: pig comes and fox goes into forest 

Holli  : pig comes and fox goes into forest
Roy    : pig comes and the fox goes into forest
Borisz : pig comes and the fox goes into forest
shltn  : pig comes and fox goes into forest

[download]

And just one fox trips up both Holli and shltn

So I'm just going to pretend I have judging power and disqualify Holli's and shltn's entries, which makes Roy Jonhson the new winner. :)

Roy Johnson: fox comes fox walks and fox goes into forest. no fox left

    And that trips both sh1tn and Roy Johnson. Leaving borisz as the only correct solution.
