> Ihor, would you consider the possibility of regexp cache thrashing? It does occur from time to time; that cache is quite small. Try this instrumentation patch. (We should probably have something like it permanently.)

Generating agenda with Emacs master + your patch:

 :regexp-cache-hit: 6225399 :regexp-cache-miss: 109490

Emacs 28.3 + your patch:
 :regexp-cache-hit: 4968571 :regexp-cache-miss: 79637

Also, I tried to play around with increasing REGEXP_CACHE_SIZE in the
past. It does not make noticeable difference in my setup.
