Performance overhead estimate?

[Nantris]

This library looks very cool! I was wondering if you have any ballpark estimate of where using regexp-worker becomes "worth it?"

For example, I'm sure it's not worth it if you're running /.*/ on a 10 character string, but is it worth it to run /someword/ on a hundred character string, a thousand character string? Any idea?

Thanks for sharing this cool project!

Great question.

It works best in batch style requests to reduce the call overhead.

The main reason I created this was to address issues where the regexp came from the user causing extreme performance issues and even lockups.

For example, run a regexp against an entire document.
