Invalid DEFINE-CONDITION option: (:DEFAULT-INITARGS :POS NIL :STRING *SYNTAX-ERROR-STRING*)
This looks like a bug in GCL, not in CL-PPCRE.

As to CL-PPCRE being very slow on ECL it'd be nice if you could provide a specific example. IIRC Juan-José is subscribed to this list, so maybe he wants to chime in if there's something in CL-PPCRE that's specifically problematic for ECL.
