 However what is not certain is whether we can add simplification
 to the bit-coded algorithm, without breaking the correct lexing output.
+
+
+The reason that we do need to add a simplification phase
+after each derivative step of  $\textit{blexer}$ is
+because it produces intermediate
+regular expressions that can grow exponentially.
+For example, the regular expression $(a+aa)^*$ after taking
+derivative against just 10 $a$s will have size 8192.

+%TODO: add figure for this?

 This might sound trivial in the case of producing a YES/NO answer,
 but once we require a lexing output to be produced (which is required
 in applications like compiler front-end, malicious attack domain extraction, 
 etc.), it is not straightforward if we still extract what is needed according
 to the POSIX standard.
