Ruby version of regex-redux uses built-in regex support, and I'm not even sure if it uses it the most performant way.

Significant portion of the Python test case is FFI code to directly link PCRE bypassing even normal Python extension support.

I guess I should augment some of the SBCL benchmarks with custom assembly then...

How could that possibly effect the performance of the Ruby regex-redux? :-)

It wouldn't help ruby, but I'd rather write common lisp ;)

Fair enough :-)

(Although they wouldn't be accepted — the option of using those widely libraries is only for pi-digits and regex-redux; and not "custom assembly".)
