You just slow down setlocale/newlocale in every program that uses it.
Since when is 50M huge?

No offence Jakub, but 50M IS huge to a lot of people including me.
It's the equivalent of 34 floppy disks.
There's versions of Linux that will boot from a floppy, so requiring 34x
that to store a file is a bit over the top IMO.
If files like that are unnecessary, they should be able to be deleted.
But back to the original post, which program(s) actually use
setlocale/newlocale?
I'm thinking of getting rid of that file as well.
