### Explanation.

1. **Caching with lru_cache**.
   - By using `functools.lru_cache`, the function `validate_regex` now caches the results of previous calls. If the same pattern is validated multiple times, the cached result is returned immediately, significantly improving the performance for repeated patterns. This change optimizes the runtime without altering the function's behavior.
