No, pcregrep (or grep -P) is no option, as the regular expression syntax is
that of perl, not of grep. Yes, pcre is faster with UTF-8, it always was,
but that's irrelevant.
Re comment #33: we have this conversation because grep of course _does_ support
UTF-8 inputs just fine (as some other multi-byte locales). It is only slow.
And yes, grep does implement some specialized versions of the matcher for
these locales. No need for any reimplementation from scratch.
