In the benchmark against the regexp package, the DOTALL regexp option should be used because without it .* is not the same as the glob * (regexp has to exclude \n). A \n separator for glob could also be used.
I suspect doing that will narrow the gap between glob and regexp but provide a fairer comparison.
