Hi everybody!
I've written the code below to test the differences in performance
between compiled and non-compiled regular expression matching but I
don't quite understand the results. It appears that the compiled the
pattern only takes 2% less time to process the match. Is there some
caching going on in the uncompiled section that prevents me from
noticing its otherwise lower speed?

Yes, the regular expression is compiled and cached internally.
