This tells me that on your system, the rx library is faster than the 
system library regex calls. On the other hand, many people cheered 
when we switched from the rx library to regex for the Endings fuzzy 
generation. (Remember the complaints that German endings took weeks 
to generate?)

This may explain some of the different performance reports with the 
3.2 code as this uses regex calls heavily.

(Hmm. Maybe the configure test should try benchmarking...)
