Would you accept faster code that buttonizes articles according to
builtin rules *other* than regexps?  What I have in mind is something
like:

(defvar gnus-emphasis-plist
        '((_ word (:repeat separator word) _) gnus-underline-face
          (* word (:repeat separator word) *) gnus-bold-face
          ...))

Code that parses forms like this into a matcher faster than hairy
regexps should not be too hard to write.
