I tested 10 million matches on my computer using capturing groups and it took ~ 6 seconds, but only ~ 2 seconds with non-capturing params. So yes, it is very fast anyway, but ~ 3 times faster with non-capturing params, so there is a difference. Octavian -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
