PoC (PHP script) showing the problem
Hi,
Debian updated PCRE from 10.34 to 10.36 this week which uncovered a major
performance regression in a PHP application. I was able to reproduce this on
Gentoo.
Please see the attached PHP script. I run the PoC against 10.34 and 10.36
(including current SVN trunk, i.e. it is still unfixed):

I run this on a modern CPU with 4.2GHz single thread performance.
A bisect revealed

revision.
