## 2025-02-18 - Regex Pre-compilation in Hot Paths
**Learning:** Re-compiling regexes inside a frequently called function (like `latex_escape` which runs for every string) creates significant overhead. Pre-compiling them at module level yielded a ~3.2x speedup.
**Action:** Always look for regex compilations inside loops or frequently called functions and move them to module level constants.

## 2025-02-18 - Pre-compiled Regex inside BeautifulSoup parsing loops
**Learning:** Initializing literal regex patterns within HTML parsing loops or frequently-called `re.search` methods introduces significant overhead due to continual recompilations, despite Python's internal regex caching. For `cli/integrations/job_parser.py`, moving regex patterns (headings, salary, bullet points, etc.) to module-level compiled constants yielded a ~22% time reduction in generic parsing tests.
**Action:** Always hoist literal regex strings into `re.compile` module constants for files doing heavy text matching or parsing.
