| 25 <p>Version 3 adds a new benchmark, <i>RegExp</i>. The RegExp |
| 26 benchmark is generated by loading 50 of the most popular pages on the |
| 27 web and logging all regexp operations performed. Each operation is |
| 28 given a weight that is calculated from an estimate of the popularity |
| 29 of the pages where it occurs and the number of times it is executed |
| 30 while loading each page. Finally the literal letters in the data are |
| 31 encoded using ROT13 in a way that does not affect how the regexps |
| 32 match their input. |
