Robin Sommer commented on BIT-1215:
-----------------------------------
I noticed a regression compared to the awk-version: the C bro-cut cannot handle
more than one time column when converting to readable output. The branch
{{topic/robin/ticket1215-merge}} has a test case in
{{bro-cut/multiple-times.test}}. Might be a bit painful to fix, but I think we
should ...
> bro-cut should be rewritten for speed and to not depend on gawk

> The current implementation of bro-cut is too slow when processing large log
> files (takes more than a minute to process a single log file a few hundred MB
> in size). Justin Azoff rewrote bro-cut in C and found that it runs an order
> of magnitude faster. Another benefit of a C version of bro-cut is that we
> will no longer depend on gawk for anything (and some of Bro's supported
> platforms do not include gawk by default).
