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. :-) -- This is my .signature which gets appended to the end of my messages.
