By inspection, e.g. any rawbody rule whose regex contains .* is an
immediate suspect.
These days I tend not to write any rule with an unbounded match. As an
example, instead of "string1.*(string2|string3)" I'll write that part of
the rule as "string1.{0,n}(string2|string3)" because, unlike the
unbounded .* this cannot match a huge span of text and have to backtrack
miles before trying subsequent alternates.
