in reply to Interesting Perl/Java regexp benchmarking

Unfortunately, they don’t produce quite the same results, with occasional variation around international characters. But close enough for the purpose of this experiment.

This could introduce HUGE discrepancies in regards to what is actually going on because regexs are compiled into FSAs, and you can't accurately compare FSAs that have different end states.
