Package: grep Version: 2.5.3~dfsg-1 Severity: important
Hi, After upgrading grep to 2.5.3~dfsg-1: $ time grep '^foo b' bar >/dev/null real 0m34.745s user 0m34.522s sys 0m0.032s While in a 32-bit chroot on the same machine, same package version, same input file: $ time grep '^foo b' bar >/dev/null real 0m0.123s user 0m0.120s sys 0m0.000s Both cases are cache-hot representative values of multiple measurements. The file searched is a ~30 MiB textfile. Up until yesterday the 64-bit version was a little faster... IMHO this nearly 300x slowdown makes 'grep' practically unusable for any serious work on AMD64.
