Can you post sample code reproducing the problem? Performance problems often have nothing to do with the regular expression, but rather with how the package is being (mis)used. At the same time, problems often have something to do with a suboptimally constructed regular expression (in general, the more backtracking required by the expression, the slower it is). Without sample code reproducing the problem, there is no way to isolate what's happening. daniel
