external PCRE configure option for apache2 and mod sec 2?

Hi it seems after turning on mod sec the load on our high traffic apache server went up quite alot

CPU states: 49.6% user,  8.2% nice, 15.9% system,  0.5% interrupt, 25.8% idle
Mem: 588M Active, 106M Inact, 304M Wired, 31M Cache, 112M Buf, 1979M Free
Swap: 4096M Total, 93M Used, 4002M Free, 2% Inuse

from about 2%

The installation instructions are quite confusing on how to get mod sec two compiled into apache with performance boosts. I have research everwhere and i cannot find an option --with-pcre for apache 2.

And i looked into the apache bsd ports package and also the debian apache package and there is no such configure rule for an external pcre.

Could it be the rules ?

It seems to also log 404 errors for images loaded within a dynamic script, i just want to audit dynamic scripting only !

Please let me know thanks.
