There's huge differences in how regex implementations perform in different > languages. For example: http://raid6.com.au/~onlyjob/posts/arena/ >
Last year, I did some experiments: I had a 100 lines of LiveCode with a bunch of really big Regex. It took 120 seconds on my Macbook to run. I tried diffferent ways to write/modify the regex, and it always keep running around 120 seconds. Then, using my sunnYperl external, I copy/paste all my regex ( not one modification ) and rewrite the LC part in Perl (a bit more work but not that much). I came down to 9 seconds.
