Interesting indeed. I added "use bytes" and performance is much
improved. It's approximately back to where it was with v3.1.8. So what
does this all mean?
Well first, do you have the SARE rules installed that are throwing errors?
If so, this might only mean that the errors have vanished.
If you don't have the SARE or other rules throwing errors about high bit
problems, then this possibly indicates that the Unicode regex handling in
Perl is slower than the Ascii regex handling in Perl. This would not
particularly surprise me at all, which is why I was hoping that maybe a few
people would try this experiment.

Subject: Re: Poor performance with v3.2.0
It would be interesting on some system experiencing this slowdown to
put
'use bytes' back into SA and see what happens with the performance.
This
wouldn't be any sort of a solution, but it would be an interesting
data
point.

In case it matters, here's the output of "perl -V":
