Did you make some conclusion here?

To me it seems like the regexp cache could be improved by
keeping a usage counter and a lru timestamp so frequently
used regexps could be kept in the cache -- and the cache
could grow dynamically to always hold the most frequently
used regexps [with some hard upper limit of course].

E.g. if I have a large number of regexps to split mail in gnus,
it would be nice to keep all of those in the cache.
