However, for cases like %abc (ends with abc), abc% (starts > with abc), %abc% (contains abc), it is observed that implementing these cases > with simple code instead of using regex library provides good performance > boost (4-6x). Idea is to use special case code for simple, common cases and > fall back to Java regex library for complicated ones. That will provide good > performance benefit for most common cases. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
