In a loop (multiple uses)
var txt1 = 'mary is at home';
var txt2 = 'john is at home';
for(var i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
  txt1.match(/mary/);
  txt2.match(/mary/);
}
ready
Outside a loop (multiple uses)
var txt1 = 'mary is at home';
var txt2 = 'john is at home';
var regex = /mary/;
for(var i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
  txt1.match(regex);
  txt2.match(regex);
}
ready
In a loop (different regexps)
var txt1 = 'mary is at home';
var txt2 = 'john is at home';
for(var i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
  txt1.match(/mary/);
  txt2.match(/john/);
}
ready
Outside a loop (different regexps)
var txt1 = 'mary is at home';
var txt2 = 'john is at home';
var regex1 = /mary/;
var regex2 = /john/;
for(var i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
  txt1.match(regex1);
  txt2.match(regex2);
}

In a loop (single use)
var txt = 'mary is at home';
for(var i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
  txt.match(/mary/);
}
ready
Outside a loop (single use)
var txt = 'mary is at home';
var regex = /mary/;
for(var i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
