Noted something - if you grep for say Bar in a large file
containing:
Bar
Foo
Bar
Foo       
.... etc - say 1.3 megs

It takes a very long time to complete - far more than searching
a normal file for the info.  This is on an athlon 1.7 ghz, 500 meg ram.

Output from a grep with time stamps at start and end.

The source file is 1.3 megs of pretty much random Foo Bar alternating
line by line.

I tried grepping on an hpux b138 and it only took a few seconds, but
that is their grep.
