I don't think its a deal breaker but if its a hidden java applet then why not have the regexes processed on the server as a servlet and sandbox them with a time

  That could work, but an original design goal was to avoid server dependencies or bottlenecks. For instant display or the stepwise animation, the lag of a server roundtrip could be a problem; for some users, posting data to a remote service might introduce privacy concerns. (The regex-powertoy can be run completely locally.)
