I am the "boss" of the research group that put the regex generator tool on line (http://machinelearning.inginf.units.it/ "Data and tools"): we are all VERY SORRY for any inconvenience we may have created.
We simply did not expect so much interest in our work. Yesterday we received more than 11000 visits. We are not prepared to handle such traffic.
We are working toward adding a few more CPUs and will notify the status on our Twitter account: http://twitter.com/@MaleLabTs.
We are afraid we will not be able to fully solve the overload problem anytime soon, though. We are a small research group, with scarce resources.
We are also preparing a small faq for addressing several of the interesting points raised in this discussion (e.g., why not executing everything in Javascript ?). We will notify completion via Twitter. Further comments and criticisms are most welcome.
That's a useful response - thanks for taking the time to register and respond.
Apologies for the extreme load caused - when geeks find something cool they tend to share it, and not everyone is ready for that level of interest.
I, for one, look forward to your updates. What would be really great would be for you to prepare some kind of informal overview and put that up as a blog post, making it clear that it's intended to be informal, and is not in any way your formal research results or anything like that. Then post here a link to it. If you engage with this community you'll get a lot of smart people offering thoughts and suggestions from which you can pick and choose.

Thanks a lot for your interest and patience.
