Thanks. The numbers on the big-alternation case are surprising, I didn't expect compilation to dominate that heavily, however that may partly because of the NFA regex engine? Can you run this using the backtracking engine? Still I am a bit hesitant about properly invalidating the cache, when not doing correctly, this could bite us later and would be hard to track down.
