Looking at Grep's "configure --help" output, I see that
"--enable-gcc-warnings" is an option, and, with some experimentation with

the release tarball.
These shouldn't affect grep's runtime performance.
I don't know why you're observing the performance you do. It could be that
you're building 'grep' differently from the way Gentoo builds it. You might try
building both grep 2.21 and grep master yourself, with the same build procedure
both ways.
