in thread Style question: regex versus string builtin function

No, it is not useless. Comment out the match variables in matchvars. It is not really "considerable slower" with that small strings. I just wanted to say that match variables are not as evil as everybody says and that they CAN speed things significantly up (like 500% in the benchmark). But you must be careful.
