Pound works on a first-match policy, so there would be some benefit to 
putting your highest traffic sites towards the top.  I don't think a 
hash table would work here, since there's no way to specify a way to key 
into that hash table given a particular header.  I like where you're 
going with the idea, I just don't think its supported.

Personally I haven't tried it, but I believe there's a benefit if pcre 
is installed when building pound, as well as google's perftools.

Just looking over the archives a bit, I'm thinking I should really give 
this a try, since people claim some wild performance gains!

It might help to use the perl modules Regexp::Optimizer

or Regexp::Assemble 
(http://search.cpan.org/~dland/Regexp-Assemble-0.32/Assemble.pm)
to 
pre-process your list of hosts.

It's probably much easier to update a list than update a regex, 
especially one that's been machine-optimized.
