I concentrated my efforts on the matching speed because regexes tend to be compiled only once, and are cached anyway, so I don't think it's as important.

I think most here will agree with that, but it might be good to keep in mind that the sre implementation has already made that trade-off once. I don't remember what the compilation slowdown was at the time, but I'd be surprised if Google can't find it, given sufficient fu.
