Not PCRE related.

Running it without the concat of 'x' results in normal performance:

<?php

preg_replace('~(?>[\pZ\pC]+)$~u', '', str_repeat("\u{2029}",
20000));

I recommend using (*SKIP) though - this is the fastest you'll get.

preg_replace('~[\pZ\pC]+(*SKIP)$~u', '', str_repeat("\u{2029}", 20000)
.  'x');

\u{2029} is a PHP7 feature, so test in 5.6 is not the same.. :-/

See https://3v4l.org/7Wfc5/perf#tabs

PHP7 is faster. Regexp still slow, but no regression.

Please close :X

Ah, you're right!

Please take a look at the user time, not at system time.

Or confirm by running it at CLI:

time php -r 'preg_replace("~(?>[\pZ\pC]+)$~u", "",
str_repeat("\u{2029}", 20000) .  "x");'

real	0m0.975s
user	0m0.973s
sys	0m0.000s
