[comp.bugs.sys5] S5R2 "grep" performance improvement

jeff@cdp.UUCP (02/02/87)

If you are really concerned about performance in fgrep,
you should consider using the Boyer-Moore pattern matcher,
which I believe was posted on the net some time ago.
It can't handle all the fgrep options, but if you are just
looking for a fast search program, it does the job quite
well.
