[fpc-pascal] regex vs synregexpr unit

[Flávio Etrusco]

http://delphi.about.com/od/toppicks/tp/delphi-regular-expressions.htm

The regex unit in SynEdit is an old version of the code from
regexpstudio.com (which seems to be offline) is said to be very slow
for processing large sets of data, like a whole file. In SynEdit it`s
used to process single lines, and in this situations it seems pretty
good.

Best regards,
Flavio
