I mentioned this about a year ago, but now that people are starting to write rulesets with hundreds to thousands of new rules, I thought I'd bring it up again.
How happy are people with the performance of SA, especially with all of thee new rules? The reason I ask is that I'm on-again, off-again working on a new automata based regexp matching engine and I want to know if it would be one of those things that anybody else might care about. An automata based regexp engine is one that can compile a set of regular expressionns down into an automata, then run the automata. The advantage this has is that it can match any number of regexps with no loss in performance. I previous prototype I had could match 200 regexps taken from SA about a thousand times faster than SA could match them. Another scaling test with 5000 regexps was just as fast. So my question is, when I finish the matching engine, if I finish it, is there any interest in trying to use it to match spam? A year ago, the consensus seemed to be that everyone was pretty much happy with SA's performance. Its not fast, but it is fast enough. Is that still true?
