Hi I've been seeing the multiple commits for http://dev.jquery.com/ticket/4111. Moving regexps to local vars to cache them.
I was wondering if this is a perfomance measure and if so, if there's some benchmark out there to prove the gain. I personally think these changes make the code more complicated and longer. I'd rather see the regexp in place if I want to understand what it does. I went ahead and created a benchmark for this: http://benchmarker.flesler.com/regexp/run/ The conclusions were that there's absolutely no gain in speed except on IE. Even on IE, it doesn't seem to be such a critic improvement and it's slower the more you get away from the variables' scope chain (in nested functions). Any opinion ?
