You missed the point. What is the fastest way to test 100's of regex expressions against every line in a file? Here is what I've come up with: 
# map REGEXs over line
72.328 user, 0.108 sys, 1:24.18 real, 86.0% cpu
0k text, 0k data+stack, 0k avg, 0k max
36 in, 3 out, 0 faults, 325 reclaims, 0 swaps

# eval preformed REGEXs over line
196.128 user, 0.093 sys, 3:47.98 real, 86.0% cpu
0k text, 0k data+stack, 0k avg, 0k max
43 in, 3 out, 0 faults, 358 reclaims, 0 swaps
 
# eval over preconstructed function
1.742 user, 0.030 sys, 0:02.00 real, 88.5% cpu
0k text, 0k data+stack, 0k avg, 0k max
19 in, 1 out, 0 faults, 329 reclaims, 0 swaps
