PCRE got added after POSIX Regex had been in awhile.
There was some resistance to having two Regexes in PHP.
I think the default is "on" these days for PCRE.
One viable reason to turn it "off" might be to conserve RAM -- I
daresay PCRE takes up a goodly chunk of RAM for its codebase, if
you're really scrimping and saving... This would make more sense in
something like an embedded PHP app rather than shared hosting
environment.
