Aaron Swartz added the comment:

Just a note for those who think this is a purely theoretical issue:

We've been using the python-markdown module on our web app for a while,
only to notice the app has been repeatedly going down. After tracking
down the culprit, we found that a speech from Hamlet passed to one of
the Markdown regular expressions caused this exponential behavior,
freezing up the app.
