And useful!

Because we know that regular expressions are the problem here, right?

Err, wait, we haven't seen any code, or any benchmarks, so we don't.

Efficient regexes run efficiently. 

Inefficient regexes run inefficiently. 

Measuring can help identify potential problems.

But in this case, we don't even know if that's where the problem lies.
