Thanks, I'll take a look at those tests, but they're likely to have a lot of duplicates with the existing test suite. What Felix is looking for, however, is a benchmark. CL-PPCRE used to have benchmarks, but they weren't very good, and don't even seem to be available anymore. The shootout benchmark is a joke. I'll be working on comprehensive benchmarks for the next release of irregex. In the meantime, I think a simple collection of common regular expressions and usage patterns in existing Chicken code would help to reassure people :) -- Alex _______________________________________________ Chicken-users mailing list Chicken-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users
