[Mono-dev] Performance of compiled regular expressions?

[Daniel Lo Nigro]

Some of the regular expressions in MarkdownSharp look very complex and I
wouldn't be surprised if the Mono engine has trouble with them.

If MarkdownSharp is where most of your performance loss is coming from,
have you considered caching the HTML output so the parsing doesn't have to
happen on every page load? On an ASP.NET website you should be able to use
the output cache to handle caching. Alternatively, if your site's content
is in a database, you could have a column for the Markdown source and a
column for the HTML output, and just regenerate the HTML whenever a post is
edited.

Just throwing some ideas around :)
