ADDITIONAL SYSTEM INFORMATION :
Running on Linux 64 bit

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
While upgrading from Java 1.8 to 11 we've noticed that regular expressions matching of specific values is much slower in JDK 11. This doesn't happen for all expression, We were able to reproduce it with a specific expression that we're using. On 4 cores machine this was x10 times slower on JDK 11

REGRESSION : Last worked in version 8u202

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Run the attached source code on the two java versions (compiled with Java 1.8, run with both)

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
# ./1.8.0.151/bin/java TestRegex
Starting benchmark...
........................................................................................................................................................................................................Finished all threads
Finished running benchmark - took 1573 millis
# ./jdk-11.0.2+9/bin/java TestRegex
Starting benchmark...
........................................................................................................................................................................................................Finished all threads
Finished running benchmark - took 14767 millis

ACTUAL -
times should be similar in JDK 1.8 and JDK 11
