 Does there exist a "faster" NDFA->DFA algorithm?
 ================================================
 
 There's no way around the potential exponential running time - it can
 take you exponential time just to enumerate all of the DFA states.  In
 practice, though, the running time is closer to linear, or sometimes
 quadratic.
