The patch attached to this bug is no longer valid - we no longer use PCRE.

I don't think we're particularly interested in optimizing for the artificial stress tests.  An automaton based matcher may have a benefit for real web pages, but we should find benchmarks representative of those cases.

I don't think there is actionable work here.
