(As a sidebar, I do recall that some time ago, I found perl's regular expression code, running perl, was only about 10% slower for a reasonably complex regular expression, compared to a hand-optimized C version that didn't use any regular expression library. This was probably about a decade ago on Sun Sparc 10 hardware... yes, that's sun4m I'm talking about. ;-) And the regular expression was a full match on HTTP log messages, as reported by the then current NCSA server.
