in thread 5.10.0 regex slowdown

See those BRANCHJ EXACT LONGJMP tuples? They are confusing the optimiser so that it doesnt recognize this as a trie'able sequence. Ill have to think about what i can do about that.

I doubt ill have time soon tho.

Offline ysth mentioned a cool suggestion:

[2008-02-22 01:45] <ysth1> I ended up dividing my list into three diff +erent regexes and used them like (?:(??{$rxa})|(??{$rxb})|(??{$rxc}))

Which isnt ideal but better than no trie at all. Sorry about this. :-(

      Ah, yes. For sure. I didnt need that much anyway. :-) Im pretty sure youll find that most of that is going to be *match* debug output, which is not what i wanted, i just wanted a snippet of the compiled pattern dump. Sorry about that.
