This is not the issue. Yes, Emacs compiles regular expressions whenever necessary. However, consider the following loop:
I meant, could you store a compiled RE in a variable and use the compiled form. Then manually recompile them if someone changes the uncompiled RE string. This assumes you can store the compiled RE and that there is a hook in custom to let you know it has changed. We'd probably want to have a function the regenerates all of org's REs and allow others to hook into that to recompile their own REs. On the other hand, I just went digging through the elisp manual and I didn't see anything that would generate a compiled RE to be stored and (re)used later. Bummer. Maybe if I get bored, I might see if performance is ok with the REs factored out, but I don't suspect I would get good results.
