okay so welcome to qsrespeed, the little tool that compares and estimates how long your (Perl-compatible) regular expressions — yep, PCRE — take to process. ✨ it's giving "stopwatch for regex girlies" and honestly? obsessed.

🌸 NAME 🌸

qsrespeed — a tool to compare / estimate the processing time for (Perl-compatible) regular expressions (PCRE). 💖

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

qsrespeed <path>

like, that's the whole vibe. one path. slay. 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea, bestie: qsrespeed loads regular expressions from the file you hand it 📂 and matches them against a built-in set of strings, measuring the time needed to process them. ⏱️✨

and lowkey it's also a benchmark — a whole tool for judging the expressions you have defined, specifically regarding their potential CPU consumption. 👀🔥 no cap, your regex can be a little resource-hungry menace and this is how you find out.

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • <path> — this defines the input file to process, the main character of the whole operation 💅. the file consists a list of regular expressions to test, separated by a newline character — so like, one regex per line, periodt. 📝🌈

🍓 AUTHOR 🍓

Pascal Buchbinder, and their whole web vibe lives at http://mod-qos.sourceforge.net/ 🌐💫

and that's a wrap, bestie 🎀 this was qsrespeed from the mod_qos utilities, version 11.79, brought to you fresh in May 2026 🗓️✨ now go forth, benchmark those expressions, and stay iconic. mwah. 💖🦋🌈👑
