Detailed discussion of regular expression complexity and efficiency is rather out of scope for this group. FFF uses Python's re library, I'm sure one can find both practical and scholarly articles on regexp complexity--I know it featured in several of my ComSci classes once upon a time.
Short answer: yes,
replace_metadata lines are checked against everything that they might apply to and adding more numerous and more complex lines can cause noticeable slowdowns.
I believe the practical limit is somewhere that I would call "waaaay beyond reasonable". Because there are regulars here who routinely use setups that I would call "waaaay beyond reasonable".

site for ffnet is 'www.fanfiction.net'. And regexp is case sensitive.
If that doesn't help, I don't know--not enough information.
