Description
I've tested the current password meter and it's not very efficient in terms of performance when it comes to very long and complex passwords.
The following first implementation of a JS password meter doesn't use regular expressions:
JavaScript password strength meter without regular expressions
Without regular expressions and using only tokenization you get a performance boost.

We use Dropbox's zxcvbn, which is an external library. Changes to that should probably go upstream: https://github.com/dropbox/zxcvbn
Also importantly, voldemortensen is correct - making changes that negatively affect the functionality are not desirable.
