Guys,

I have just done some matching using Coccinelle that took
165 cpu minutes:
http://shape-of-code.coding-guidelines.com/2011/05/09/unused-function-parameters/
This time taken is not a problem for one script but over the
coming year I will probably be writing around 100 or so scripts
and would also like to double the amount of source I search.

Trying out a new idea with something that takes 300+ hours to run is a bit impractical.

Does anybody have any thoughts on:

   o converting the source to some intermediate form that will
speed up Coccinelle processing,

   o using Coccinelle in the cloud, eg Amazon,

   o speeding up Coccinelle.
