With alias grep="grep --color=tty -I -s" I tried, grep -i wyse /etc/termcap and found it to be ainfully slow (taking maybe a minute). Without the -i, it taks 0.1 seconds.
simplifying, grep --color=tty -i wyse /etc/termcap takes several seconds to show the first line. It's very pretty, but why so slow? grep --color=tty wyse /etc/termcap is almost instant.
