DAVEM TPF grant#2 report #154,#155

(this report covers two weeks)

I spent the bulk of my time over the last couple of weeks investigating
ways of making the regex engine faster by (in some cases) processing 8
bytes at a time on 64-bit platforms. This culminated in an email I just
sent out for discussion:

    http://nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl5.porters/241891

Other than that, I worked on a few miscellaneous tickets.
