Well in this particular benchmark there is little I can do, some small
scale optimizations and such, I expect no more then 10%.
The bigger picture is that our best bet here is static regex, the
competitors use some aggressive JIT so it's a fair play. I actually
received pull request this morning do just that (thx, Martin) though
dmd uses so much memory it's not for mortals yet:
I had 2G of ram + some 600mb of swap - fail on 3rd pattern of 9
+ 2 Gb of swap - 6 out of 9
Come on, it's a sport!
+ 4 Gb of swap and after few restless minutes I got it working
Fresh timings:
FReD C-T 3.4 sec
FReD R-T 6.6 sec
RE2 4.8 sec
V8 JS 3.7 sec
Look ma, we are on top! :)
So, by the end of day, D does kick ass, even though it's a bit of
Pyrrhic victory.
Even so, that is awesome. Another point to D for its
metaprogramming.
