Python too slow for real world

[Nathan Clegg]

Concerning regular expression slow downs...

I am interested in running a lot of text through dozens of different
regexen (precompiled, of course).  However, I am interested in only
whether or not each chunk of text passed which regexen.  I don't care
about what matched and retrieving it--just a truth value.  Is there a way
to get this without the overhead of the features I am not using?
