Slow run

I have two expressions which run too long time:

$ time bin/regexploit
Welcome to Regexploit. Enter your regexes:
(?i:(?:j|&#x?0*(?:74|4A|106|6A);?)(?:\t|&(?:#x?0*(?:9|13|10|A|D);?|tab;|newline;))*(?:a|&#x?0*(?:65|41|97|61);?)(?:\t|&(?:#x?0*(?:9|13|10|A|D);?|tab;|newline;))*(?:v|&#x?0*(?:86|56|118|76);?)(?:\t|&(?:#x?0*(?:9|13|10|A|D);?|tab;|newline;))*(?:a|&#x?0*(?:65|41|97|61);?)(?:\t|&(?:#x?0*(?:9|13|10|A|D);?|tab;|newline;))*(?:s|&#x?0*(?:83|53|115|73);?)(?:\t|&(?:#x?0*(?:9|13|10|A|D);?|tab;|newline;))*(?:c|&#x?0*(?:67|43|99|63);?)(?:\t|&(?:#x?0*(?:9|13|10|A|D);?|tab;|newline;))*(?:r|&#x?0*(?:82|52|114|72);?)(?:\t|&(?:#x?0*(?:9|13|10|A|D);?|tab;|newline;))*(?:i|&#x?0*(?:73|49|105|69);?)(?:\t|&(?:#x?0*(?:9|13|10|A|D);?|tab;|newline;))*(?:p|&#x?0*(?:80|50|112|70);?)(?:\t|&(?:#x?0*(?:9|13|10|A|D);?|tab;|newline;))*(?:t|&#x?0*(?:84|54|116|74);?)(?:\t|&(?:#x?0*(?:9|13|10|A|D);?|tab;|newline;))*(?::|&(?:#x?0*(?:58|3A);?|colon;)).)(regexp)

as you can see, in this case I terminated the process after 3 min and 34 secs.

$ echo "(?i:(?:v|&#x?0*(?:86|56|118|76);?)(?:\t|&(?:#x?0*(?:9|13|10|A|D);?|tab;|newline;))*(?:b|&#x?0*(?:66|42|98|62);?)(?:\t|&(?:#x?0*(?:9|13|10|A|D);?|tab;|newline;))*(?:s|&#x?0*(?:83|53|115|73);?)(?:\t|&(?:#x?0*(?:9|13|10|A|D);?|tab;|newline;))*(?:c|&#x?0*(?:67|43|99|63);?)(?:\t|&(?:#x?0*(?:9|13|10|A|D);?|tab;|newline;))*(?:r|&#x?0*(?:82|52|114|72);?)(?:\t|&(?:#x?0*(?:9|13|10|A|D);?|tab;|newline;))*(?:i|&#x?0*(?:73|49|105|69);?)(?:\t|&(?:#x?0*(?:9|13|10|A|D);?|tab;|newline;))*(?:p|&#x?0*(?:80|50|112|70);?)(?:\t|&(?:#x?0*(?:9|13|10|A|D);?|tab;|newline;))*(?:t|&#x?0*(?:84|54|116|74);?)(?:\t|&(?:#x?0*(?:9|13|10|A|D);?|tab;|newline;))*(?::|&(?:#x?0*(?:58|3A);?|colon;)).)(regexp)" | time bin/regexploit

0inputs+0outputs (0major+1834minor)pagefaults 0swaps

so this one took 16 seconds, which is much more than the others - I run about 300 different checks, except these two expressions all of them run within few (ten/hundred) milliseconds.

The second one wouldn't be problem, but it's a bit weird. The first one is problematic, and would be fine to find the reason of that behavior - I would like to integrate this into a CI/CD environment.

Could you help me to investigate these?

Thanks.
