With a few Chicken-specific optimizations to the DFA matcher I
achieved a 35% speedup--though going from 12x to 8x slower is not that
big a deal. Alex informed me he has an optimized implementation for
Chicken (which is undoubtedly far better than my quick attempt), but
he is waiting to release it until he has a comprehensive benchmark
suite written. So I will not be making any changes to the irregex
implementation at this time.
