For example, trying to match the regular expression @samp{\(x+y*\)*a} against the string @samp{xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxz} could -take hours before it ultimately fails. Emacs must try each way of +take hours before it ultimately fails. Emacs may try each way of grouping the @samp{x}s before concluding that none of them can work. In general, avoid expressions that can match the same string in multiple ways.
