Hello i've been reading this article, wich has a few benchmarks
(inclding a ruby related one) and many theorical explanations of regex
matching algorithms:

http://swtch.com/~rsc/regexp/regexp1.html

I became a little worried since i'm making hevy use of regexes in a
program of mine that shortly i'll have to run on each of thousands of
text files.

* Do anyone now if what is said relates to ruby 1.8.6
* If so, is it going to change ?

Thank you!
