> So it is a performance trade-off.

Yes. - I am looking for another configuration variant because of this detail
when I am building this software from the source files not only for myself.


> Which application needs patterns in excess of 64k please?

A bit of background can be also found in my bug report ���Advanced data
processing for an alternation with a lot of key words���.

> What prevents you from linking against the 32 bit library in the first place?

Nothing directly. - But there are further constraints to consider for modules
in other programming languages if you would like to follow a change request
like ���Support for PCRE2���.
