Interesting. A few months ago I wanted to sell ctRegex as the 
fastest one in a presentation, but in my benchmarks (based on 
[1]) I found it to be of equal speed or slower than boost::regex 
(LDC vs Clang).

I've got to take a look at your benchmarks, and repeat mine to 
check again if I didn't mess something up.
