regex status report #11

[Gabor Kovesdan]

Hi,

during the week I implemented the Boyer-Moore algorithm and I couldn't 
measure any speed up neither in bsdgrep nor in sed. Probably, bsdgrep 
has other bottlenecks and sed runs so fast even with big files that the 
more efficient algorithm is not measurable. So for now, I decided to 
clean this code up a bit and move on to the heuristical matching and 
also take a look at how to optimize bsdgrep. It is more convenient to 
work on the actual bottlenecks and I can get back to this code later 
when the rest performs well.

I just noticed that the suggested pencils down date is coming. (Aug 15) 
I will work until the hard deadline (Aug 22) to compensate the hours 
that I missed because of moving and of course, I plan to continue 
working on my project after the summer to finally replace the regex code 
and also get rid of GNU grep.
