[fpc-pascal] Which regex unit to use?

[Graeme Geldenhuys]

Has anybody done a speed test between these two, to see how they perform
with large test files?


>  * <fpcsrc>/packages/regexpr/src/regexp.pp

vs

>  * <lazarus>/components/synedit/synregexpr.pas
>  * TRegExpr (no idea what is latest and if FPC compatible)



>From the following link it sounds like TRegExpr is dog slow - even the
original author said so (referring that it was only meant for small lines
of text).
