c# - Regex extremely slow when close matching -


i attempting fix regex searches html elements attributes named "langtoken" other permutations such "langtoken_title". if search langtoken using word boundary returns results ~1,750,000 character string in around 0.2 seconds if omit word boundary capture langtoken_title attributes spikes around 95 seconds.

the regex had was

<([^>\s]+) [^>]*langtoken([^>]*?(\\*)?/>|.*?<(\\*)?/\1>) 

so far attempts have changed to

<([^>\s]+) [^>]*langtoken(?:\b|_)(?:[^>]*/>|.*?</\1>) 

i should note in string being searched (an html document) there 1431 occurrences of elements langtoken attribute , 5 of langtoken_title attribute. believe near match causing issue not sure.

this first foray regex , appreciated in creating more efficient expression.
