Tha bug report is still online at http://bugs6.perl.org/rt3/Ticket/Display.html?id=24826 In short, I discoverd that these files cause *all* string operations on utf8 strings to be very slooow! Removing the '%utf8::ToSpecFUNCTION = (...)' definitions from these files increased the speed on a simple test regex with Perl 5.8.2 from 77 to 9 seconds on a Windows machine and from 775 s to 66 s on a (slower) BSD/OS system!!! rob.
