Regex Extension comparer

I whipped this up after finding that my worst fears were true, pathinfo is slow. Top that with in_array and you've got your self some heavy code. Nothing like regex to speed things up.

This little code checks the extension of a path to see if it is a desired extension.

EDIT: the regex engine kills any speed benefits...
