Are we talking ms or us here?  I'm guessing us.

Besides, wouldn't capturing groups be necessary for something like

(['"]).*?\1

or whatever?  They aren't only used for replacements.  This reduces
functionality for at *best* some dubious microoptimization effort that has no
real-world benchmarks attached.  Real-world means saying how much user or real
time it measurably adds to actual page loads on a real site, not "it takes 97%
less time if I make a 50M regex solely out of capturing expressions".  Also not
"some people did some testing and said it was significant".

Still say WONTFIX.
