The new engine is supposed to be faster. But we are not there yet.
It might be that the new engine is only faster for repeating. It has
more overhead setting up the regexp. If we can't reduce the overhead we
might have to select the engine when compiling the regexp.

So when I saw the post to comp.editors, I rushed over to the FTP site to
grab it. So I yank apart the tarball, light x candles, where x= the
vim version multiplied by the md5sum of the source divided by the MAC of
my NIC (8A3FA78155A8A1D346C3C4A), put on black robes, dim the lights,
wave a dead chicken over the hard drive, and summon the power of GNU GCC
with the magic words "make config ; make!".
