`matchplus` can be simplified by only modifying `matchlength` once the complete match is successful. This means it doesn't have to rewind `matchlength` as it iterates through each possible `matchpattern`. This also means it keeps `matchlength` unmodified if it doesn't return a match. Because of this last part, this also means that `matchstar` can leverage `matchplus` which reduces it to single line of code `return matchplus(...) || matchpattern(..)`.

Very interestingly, this change has noticeably improved performance. Before this change, running After this change I'm consistently getting below 3.6: The run times are much more consistent and it's around a 25% improvement for that test. My guess is that this performance may be due to less code needed to be swapped in and out of the icache? Not sure, but interesting. |
