Hi all, Over the past 18 hours, I've received 22 emails in this thread. In email number 5, sent a mere 25 minutes after the thread started, gabor_at_ said that he agreed that the performance penalty in BSD grep compared to GNU grep was excessive and that he was going to revert back to having GNU grep as the default. Why are we still discussing this? If and when gabor_at_ (or someone else) has improved BSD grep performance and thinks that it's time to flip the switch back again, I'm sure there will be ample opportunity for everybody to run their favourite grep benchmarks, report numbers, and discuss the performance differences before BSD grep is (re-)made the default. -- Colin Percival Security Officer, FreeBSD | freebsd.org | The power to serve Founder / author, Tarsnap | tarsnap.com | Online backups for the truly paranoidReceived on Sun Aug 15 2010 - 00:16:26 UTC
