That might have marginally been an issue once upon a time, but now, they're likely to be linked to the same binary. If they aren't linked on your implementation, unless you're doing lots of recursive uses of grep on extremely large files, I think you'll barely notice any speed difference, especially compared to the time it takes to read data from the disk or to edit any code.

Since the origin of fgrep, algorithms and computer hardware have come a /long/ way. Certainly in this context, I doubt grep will be a workflow bottleneck.

For reference, GNU's grep specifically deprecates fgrep in favor of grep -F.
