I haven't investigated they "why" yet, but expect that I will make grep-2.18 with just this one performance-improving patch.
Can you make room for one more patch? I have a test case and bugfix for grep's mishandling of regular expressions like [^^-~] in unibyte locales like the C locale on most platforms; this is due to the range-expression bug that Arnold reported recently.I can send out the patch later today if you like. The bug has been present since grep 2.8 so I can understand if you'd rather wait to fix it until later.
