regex_mt_bench.py does Python's re.search() scale across threads?
• Creates a single master regex (similar to the RegexValidator patch).
• Launches N threads; each thread calls .search() a fixed number of times.
• Reports wall-time vs process-CPU-time so you can see how many cores
the regex engine actually used.
