> i question the value of the deceptive impls there, e.g. the regex redux example is just calling a c library rather than using native c# facilities). You'll find 2 C# regex redux programs when you look at all the regex redux programs — https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/performance/regexredux.html https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/... — or look at all the C# programs — https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/measurements/csharpcore.html https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/... One uses "native c# facilities" — https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/program/regexredux-csharpcore-5.html https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/... — and the other uses PCRE2 — https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/program/regexredux-csharpcore-8.html https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/... There's nothing "deceptive". You are explicitly told to look at the other programs.
