Well, I would never think of you as a penguin  If I had to choose a metaphor for you ... as programmer ... it would be: Dante, standing at the mouth of Hell, with the "shade" of Aeneas at his side, reading the sign that says: "Lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch'intrate" (abandon hope, all ye who enter here).
And, overcoming fear, pressing forward into the chthonic inverted hierarchy of the infernal domains, following his passion for knowledge in spite of the great risk, and the remoteness of the chance he will ever find his lost Beatrice's salvific beauty.
cheers, from Tralfamadore, Billy Pilgrim

That's very sweet of you.
And a bit graphic, as is your wont.

Nice and simple!

So optimizing my lexer machine is slow going, but i'm feeling clever.
Introducing a new switch/case instruction worked, cutting the lexing time for the DFA version of my simple test lexer to as little as half what the NFA version costs
NFA lex: fubar bar 123 1foo bar -243 0
Lexed in 0.0217 msec
DFA lex: fubar bar 123 1foo bar -243 0
Lexed in 0.0134 msec
The trouble i'm having is
A) loading lazy quantified regexs into the NFA graph. I don't know how to represent them
B) Doing a partial, opportunistic transformation from NFA to DFA. I am running into trouble due to my use of a rangeset as my basic input alphabet element among other things.
Once I can do that though, I'll have significantly optimized this little machine. And I'll have what will be pretty close to a "real" optimizing compiler for it.
NFA version:
jmp id, int, space, error
id: ; [A-Z_a-z][0-9A-Z_a-z]*
set "A".."Z", "_", "a".."z"
id_loop: jmp id_part, id_done
id_part: set "0".."9", "A".."Z", "_", "a".."z"
jmp id_loop
id_done: save 1
match 0
int: ; (0|\-?[1-9][0-9]*)
jmp int_zero, int_nonzero
int_zero:
char "0"
jmp int_done
int_nonzero: jmp int_neg, int_pos
int_neg: char "-"
int_pos: set "1".."9"
int_loop:
jmp int_part, int_done
int_part: set "0".."9"
jmp int_loop
int_done: save 1
match 1
space: ; (\t|\n|\v|\f|\r| )
set "\t", "\n", "\v", "\f", "\r", " "
save 1
match 2
error: ; anything not caught above returns -1
any
save 1
match -1
DFA version:
save 0
switch case "A".."Z","_","a".."z":id_part, case "0":int_done,case "-":int_neg,case "1".."9":int_digits,case "\t", "\n", "\v", "\f", "\r", " ":space,default:error
id_part:
switch case "0".."9","A".."Z","_","a".."z":id_part, default:id_done
id_done:
save 1
match 0
int_neg:
set "1".."9"
int_digits:
switch case "0".."9":int_digits, default:int_done
int_done:
save 1
match 1
space:
save 1
match 2
error:
any
save 1
match -1

That can't be good
Everything else from your post seemed like unintelligible witching gibberish.
I tried to read it to a coworker, but I summoned a demon who is now getting me tea

Oh great! Can you email me the Dutch you used in the hope I'll get a Coffee Demon?
Even a Tea Demon would help - Herself wouldn't bother me quite so much if she had one ...

Just make sure you read the witch' code out loud with a hard, guttural, Dutch G, so "GGGar" instead of "tsjar" for char.
Demons really love that G!

Oh no. Burn your screen, all your personal effects, and move to a different postal code.
I should have included a warning.
