Re^2: The cost of unchecked best practices

Does that mean that, apart from these optimizations, the regex engine got actually slower in other cases? I see that the benchmark for "literal" dropped from 8E5/sec to 7E5/sec. That's a speed drop of about 12%. I assume these benchmarks are run on the same computer...

So yes, something is slower. Not necessarily the regexp, but it's likely.
