in thread regexp's

A benchmark vs. Ovid's regex. =) Tho you all knew split beats regex, here is the numbers.

Benchmark: timing 50000 iterations of Ovid, jcwren...
      Ovid:  4 wallclock secs ( 3.32 usr +  0.00 sys =  3.32 CPU) @ 15060.24/s (
n=50000)
    jcwren:  2 wallclock secs ( 2.63 usr +  0.00 sys =  2.63 CPU) @ 19011.41/s (
n=50000)
          Rate   Ovid jcwren
Ovid   15060/s     --   -21%
jcwren 19011/s    26%     --
