No concrete benchmarks no, I just timed a few scripts I had on hand and generated a bunch of others, and I saw compiled ones performed slightly faster than GNU and toybox sed, so nothing serious.

Unfortunately, it's also pretty hard to find big POSIX sed scripts in the wild, so my speed observations are centered around my own scripts. I would definitely be interested in learning more about sed scripts taking hours to run though, if you have something that I could check out that would be awesome!

And talking about speed, I think there's also a small margin for improvement in this project, like avoiding compiling the same regex multiple times (if it appears in different places in the script), and some places that could probably benefit from using hash tables instead of static arrays (address ranges for instance). More work could be done on the translation side regarding backrefs, which are parsed on the C side for now.
