[issue8064] Large regex handling very slow on Linux

[Ezio Melotti]

Ezio Melotti <ezio.melotti at gmail.com> added the comment:

A workaround could be using [^\W\d], but this includes some extra chars in the categories Pc, Nl, and No that maybe you don't want. Generate a list of chars in these 3 categories and add them in the regex should be cheaper though.
Since this is not a bug of Python I'll close this issue.
