On my FC1 system: [arb@home arb]$ rpm -q grep grep-2.5.1-17.4 [arb@home arb]$ echo $LANG en_US.UTF-8 [arb@home arb]$ time grep zymology docs/sowpods.txt enzymology zymology real 0m0.267s user 0m0.260s sys 0m0.000s [arb@home arb]$ export LANG=C [arb@home arb]$ time grep zymology docs/sowpods.txt enzymology zymology real 0m0.012s user 0m0.000s sys 0m0.000s Grep is clearly still much slower in UTF8. -- Anand Buddhdev Celtel International
