I've had a play with various "set re" options to use the old and new RE engines, new engine speeds range from "similar to the old one" to "much much slower than the old one" in my tests (depending on what it's doing and depending on malloc.conf flags). I considered changing the port back to using re=1 by default, but I ran into out-of-bounds reads in some cases when opening a file with syntax-highlighting enabled and paging through to the very end (especially with "hard" malloc.conf flags) so have put it to one side for now ...
