After noticing that the benchmark also runs significantly faster for
root than it runs for a normal user, I started looking at the
environment. It turns out that the LANG variable is all that matters:
$ echo $LANG
de_DE.UTF-8
$ time for i in {1..1000}; do ../pgms/tst.sh; done
real 0m22.807s
user 0m16.365s
sys 0m6.388s
$ LANG=POSIX
$ time for i in {1..1000}; do ../pgms/tst.sh; done
real 0m12.113s
user 0m7.092s
sys 0m5.016s
So this benchmark is not really measuring performance, it is measuring
your language settings. Ian, you should modify all tests to use the same
language settings everywhere, because otherwise the results are pure
bogus. And then re-run the benchmarks on 10.2 and 10.3 and we will
hopefully see a performance _increase_ for 10.3 ;)
