Subject: [Bug regex/501] transit_state is slow
Date: Thu, 11 Nov 2004 09:20:00 -0000	[thread overview]

Here is a testcase.  Timings taken on a PPC G4 at 1.5 GHz

time perl -e 'print "A" x 10000' | ./sed -n '/[A-Z].*[0-9]$/p'
  without patch: 1.98s
  with patch: 1.89s

time perl -e 'print "A" x 30000' | ./sed -n '/[A-Z].*[0-9]$/p'
  without patch: 17.59s
  with patch: 17.11s

In this case, regex complexity is quadratic.  This is a savings of 2.7%; I
remember seeing slightly higher figures on x86.
