RE Module Performance

[Devyn Collier Johnson]

I recently saw an email in this mailing list about the RE module being 
made slower. I no long have that email. However, I have viewed the 
source for the RE module, but I did not see any code that would slow 
down the script for no valid reason. Can anyone explain what that user 
meant or if I missed that part of the module?

Can the RE module be optimized in any way or at least the "re.sub" portion?

Mahalo,
