Regexps are always a bit slow, regardless of language. A solution without regexps is usually faster, regardless of language.

i had a script that was at least 100% slower if i used regexps compared to other methods in pike. (that was pike 7.0 i think) i can't find it right now though, it would be a good base to make a comparison against pcre.
