Regex(string.Format("( <={0}|^)( :\") ( <Column>[\\w\\.\\- ]*)( :\") ( ={0}|$)", this.Delimiter), RegexOptions.Singleline | RegexOptions.ExplicitCapture | RegexOptions.Compiled);
Since it is generated at runtime...how, or if, does that affect that it will be compiled into the assembly
Or am I misunderstanding compiled The documentation says the first time run it will incur a penalty...
Specifies that the regular expression is compiled to an assembly. This yields
faster execution but increases startup time.
When is that startup time When it is encountered or when it is compiled by the developer or when the assembly is initially loaded.

Compiled Regular Expression...setup during runtime...

The compiled option is generally used when you have an expression that you will be using over and over in your application. If you are dynamically creating an expression and matching it to an input and then throwing it away I would recommend against using the Compiled option. The Compiled option causes the Regex class to actually generate the code for the expression at runtime. This cause a significant perf degrade the first time you use the expression over not using this option. However subsequent matches should be faster and will eventually make up for the initial cost of creating the code.
