WebWorker calculates slow regexp matches significantly slower (3x) - firefox only


After a series of tests, I confirmed that this is a Mozilla Firefox issue (it affects all windows desktop versions I tried). With Google Chrome, Opera, or even Firefox mobile, the regexp matches take about the same, worker or not.

If you need this issue fixed, be sure to vote on bug report on bugzilla. I will try to add additional information if anything changes.
