There is, however, another bug of which what you call a regexp/threads bug is just a particular case. If you would fix *this* bug, it would be a completely different topic, and I would spend much more time helping you and making things perform better. Even if not your questionable concentration on a thread issue, bug fix should be optimal wrt performance. What I see might have been good for a zeroth approximation, but not much more than that.
