Re: Real-life PCRE vs Regexp benchmarking

And what happens with the performance if all strings are converted to UTF-8 and then back again?

I think a better alternative might be to attempt to change 'char' to 'int32' in the PCRE-code.

If we intend this to be a permanent solution, the fact that PCRE probably doesn't handle wide strings is a problem.

It has some support for UTF-8, and basically it is 8bit clean. This part is not well tested, though.
