Okay, following-up on myself, and indirectly Sheldon,
It does seem a little too slow. I'm not sure that this is because it
doesn't use mmap. Supposedly the merged buffer/vm means mmap doesn't
make as large a difference as it used to.
On a file with 100000+ lines, the speed difference is rather restrictive.
Looking over the gprof output, I think its authors (or some other
intrepid hacker) will find ways to speed it up. Only about 10% of
the time is spend in procline(). There seems to be a lot of
unnecessary strncpy() that could be _easily_ avoided if free() on
util.c:130 was avoided, but I'll let the authors speak first. :-)
