Some guesses are better than others. Anyway, as you're interested in guesses, part of the slowdown in compilation is probably due to the conversion from NFA to DFA, so if you write a more explicit regex, you might shave some time off the compilation, but it won't be much and it won't do anything about the runtime effects I mentioned. Additionally, if you're using the same regex in multiple places, you could consider making them a paradigm, so it only needs to be converted once. -- <Leftmost> jimregan, that's because deep inside you, you are evil. <Leftmost> Also not-so-deep inside you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Special Offer-- Download ArcSight Logger for FREE (a $49 USD value)!
