Hi, author of Hyperscan (https://github.com/01org/hyperscan) here.

I strongly suspect we don't support enough of this:

... to really support your use case. But we're interested in the workload, especially as we're looking at extensions to handle more of the zero-width assertion cases. We'll never be able to handle some of them in streaming mode (they break our semantics and the assumption that stream state is a fixed size for a given set of regular expressions).

Can you share anything about what you're doing with zero-width assertions?
