It would be really good to have some sort of rudimentary statistics to know the approximate speed difference between PGE (which currently has few optimizations) and Perl 5's regular expression engine. It doesn't have to be anything extensive -- just a couple of "order-of-magnitude" estimations so we can get some idea of just how hard we'll eventually have to work to get the performance we're used to, and what sorts of optimizations or support we'll need to be doing that.
