Title: Re: body rule speed

I presume you mean it no longer applies that particular rule to the lines of text after the first hit of that rule. This new way does that as well. Did the 'first way' not keep track of whether the rule hit already?

Ah, you mean the original way. ;)   In short, it was found to be faster
to do the first one, since we don't have to run the same rule over and
over again.  We exit out on the first hit per rule which was found to
be a huge speed increase.
