I love Regex, but unfortunately I found out that most implementations of Regex use the really slow perl implementation
https://swtch.com/~rsc/regexp/regexp1.html
The company I work for (allegedly) have implemented this regex engine into an FPGA to minimize latency, but they won't let me touch it.
I'm surprised I haven't heard of someone implementing this in software, because this paper is old. If I remember right, this doesn't support some more advanced Regex features like capturing(?), but still. find should not take minutes at a time.
