Bill said something in passing on this issue which I think is important. To
paraphrase: If you care about performance, don't use the Cocoa RegEx stuff
to parse large amounts of data. I think this observation is true whether
you use GC or not. GC just makes it worse. I'd like to see a pure-C
benchmark of the original test, perhaps just from the command line using
egrep. I suspect the results would be startling.
Having said all of which, I think the original test is not unfair and I
agree with a lot of the points people have made in support of that view.
It's always painful to have to step outside the Cocoa frameworks, and (off
topic) it seems that GC can make it more so. I for one will not be using
it.
