…10165) String split, replace and global match run a search at every position or match of one string with one matcher, but execute_with_resources bound both afresh for each search. Binding a subject decodes the entire string (perex Input::wtf8, uncharged) and binding a program revalidates every word, so each of those operations did O(n) binding work per search and O(n²) overall. On ASCII input this is why `str.split(/[,; ]+/)` took 8.1 s for a 150,000-unit string. The three loops already held a BoundSubject over their input. A new perex_api::Reuse carries it, plus a program binding taken from the receiver before the loop, into execute_with_resources. Perex's binding contract allows a binding to outlive allocation, collection and JS callbacks: Perry's owners hold registered roots and reacquire their base on every view. A search uses a reused binding only while it is provably the same object (same string; same receiver still holding the same program cell); otherwise it binds afresh exactly as before, which covers an exec override, RegExp.prototype.compile and a different string. Reuse is built before each loop because runtime handle scopes are a stack. matchAll's next(), JS-level exec/test and search are one search per JS call and are unchanged; cross-call reuse is a separate contract. The non-ASCII seek charge behind the work-limit RangeError (#10164) is on the Perex side and needs its search-from-position API; this change does not affect it. Tests: gc::tests::runtime_roots::perex_reuse covers a whole global loop with a minor collection at every poll under forced evacuation (subject and program cell both relocate; fresh work equals reused work plus six program validations, proving reuse engages), a recompile between searches, and a different string. Each test fails when its guard is sabotaged. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Da12JXeG5XuVBma5yWp5C9

Defer BoundProgram::new until builtin exec is selected.
Reuse::new calls perex::binding::BoundProgram::new before global match, replace, and split call dispatch::execute. The binding consumes the shared Budget. dispatch::execute charges that budget before looking up exec. Therefore, eager binding can exhaust the budget before a custom exec callback runs. The custom branch does not use reuse.
Defer only BoundProgram construction until the builtin path is selected. Preserve reuse for subsequent builtin searches and preserve custom exec behavior.

…10165) RegExp.prototype[@@split] tries a sticky match at every position q. Each attempt starts a whole search, so split pays a search's fixed setup per subject unit: about 27.6 work units per unit for `/[,; ]+/`, against about 9 for a global exec loop over the same subject. A non-sticky search from q returns the leftmost position s >= q where the pattern matches, with the same match a sticky attempt at s finds. The attempts at q..s-1 can therefore be skipped without changing any piece or capture, and empty matches and Unicode advancement line up. Skipping them is unobservable only when nothing can see a RegExpExec: - the species is absent or the intrinsic RegExp (recognised by its call thunk), so the splitter is a fresh object no user code holds and its skipped lastIndex writes cannot be seen; a user species could return a real RegExp and read lastIndex afterwards; - the splitter's exec resolves, without running a getter, to the builtin data property (regexp_view_uses_builtin), so the skipped Get(exec) calls cannot be seen either. When both hold, split compiles a program from the splitter's own internal source and canonical flags without `y` (never from the receiver, whose program a limit valueOf could replace via RegExp.prototype.compile after the splitter was built) and searches forward with it, reusing the operation's subject binding. Anything else runs the unchanged per-position sticky loop. Tests (gc::tests::runtime_roots::perex_split): - forward search matches ten results derived by hand from the sticky algorithm (repeated and unmatched captures, empty matches, `$` at the end, limits inside captures, Unicode empty-match advancement, the non-ASCII #10164 record), each asserted to take the forward path; - a user species returning a real RegExp keeps the sticky loop and leaves the splitter's lastIndex at 2, as the specification requires; - the existing species-factory and custom-exec tests now also assert the sticky loop ran. Sabotage: admitting any species fails the user-species test; trying the end of the input or dropping captures fails the forward-search test.

Part of #10165. Stacked follow-up for #10164: draft PR (to be linked) wiring Perex's search-from-position API.
Problem
String.prototype.split,replaceand globalmatchrun one search per position or per match of a single string with a single matcher.execute_with_resourcesrebound both the subject and the program for every search:perex::input::Input::wtf8, which decodes the whole string, and that work is not charged to the budget;Program::from_words, which revalidates every word.That is O(n) binding work per search, so O(n²) for the operation. On ASCII input it never shows up as a work-limit error, only as time. The cost placement is recorded on #10165.
Change
The three loops already held a
BoundSubjectover their input for their own reads. A newperex_api::Reusecarries that binding, plus a program binding taken from the receiver before the loop, intoexecute_with_resourcesthroughdispatch::execute.GcProgramandHeapSubjecthold registered roots and reacquire their base on every view.execoverride (dispatch branches before reuse is consulted),RegExp.prototype.compilebetween searches, and a different string.Reuseis built before each loop, never inside it, because runtime handle scopes are a stack.Unchanged by design:
matchAll'snext(), JS-levelexec/testloops andsearchdo one search per JavaScript call. Reusing bindings across calls is a separate contract, still to be decided. The non-ASCII seek charge behind #10164 is on the Perex side and is not touched here.Results

The specification tries a sticky match at every position

Anything else runs the unchanged per-position sticky loop.Same host, harness medians. That run started at load 14–17 against 5–7 for the others, and Node's own times roughly doubled with it, so compare the Node-relative ratios. Checksums match Node at every completed size. Slope:

"ab12,cd345;ef6 ".repeat(n).split(/[,; ]+/)The replace, exec, matchAll and test rows are unchanged relative to Node, as expected. Without the position API, a non-ASCII forward split still seeks each search from an end of the subject; that is handled by the position wiring, which will seed this forward loop too.
