info -w is slow for man pages

Dear developers, I noticed that "info -w" is puzzlingly slow when the argument is a man page: $ time -p info -w ffmpeg-all *manpages* real 1.06 user 1.47 sys 0.16 In contrast, "man -w" is near-instantaneous: $ time -p man -w ffmpeg-all /usr/share/man/man1/ffmpeg-all.

info -o: exit status 0 on error

Dear developers, "info -o" exits with status 0 when it can't find the node: $ info -o /dev/null lolcow info: No menu item 'lolcow' in node '(dir)Top' $ echo $? 0 In contrast, if I omit the -o option, it exits with status 1, as it should: $ info lolcow info: No menu item
