I'm a bit confused by the image and the question. Is there any additional context I'm missing? I want to make sure I understand the full scope of the attack before selecting an answer.

I think I've got a handle on this. In the worst case, I'd expect the indexing, typing, merging, and parsing queues to all fill up as the system struggles to keep up with the inefficient regex transforms. The input queue might also be affected, but that seems less likely to be the primary issue.
