In versions 0.6.0, 0.5.1 and 0.5.0 parsing this file takes ~2 minutes while it was pretty much instantaneous in 0.3.19.

Steps to reproduce the behavior with smaller repro:

  1. Marked Demo
  2. CommonMark Demo
  3. Install marked npm install --save [email protected] with the version you are using

Expected behavior
Rendering completes in a linear amount of time.

I see that a lot of the time is spent in https://github.com/markedjs/marked/blob/v0.5.1/lib/marked.js#L752

It seems that the regular expression has gotten quite a bit more complex between v0.3.19 and v0.5.1
