Dear porters, Few weeks ago I made an optimizations to regexec in case of many capture groups and recursive calls inside the pattern. I've found the bottleneck with Intel VTune and after my optimizations which basically consists replacing the 2 for loops inside regcppush and regccpop with memcpy - I got about 2x faster times with my application. Please take a look at my pull request whenever you have time - I thought I broke the tests last time but it turned out I was only missing the one about adding myself as an author.
