I understand now. I read that the webkit team cannot upgrade their PCRE engine because of the modifications... What would be the performance impact if we use the UTF-8 PCRE? Is it so huge? (and comparing also with the current QRegexp that I never liked) and what about the ICU regexp? V8 seems the worst option here, to have such a dependency for just regexp. Best regards, Sylvain
