Subject: grep vs git grep performance?
Date: Thu, 26 Oct 2017 08:02:50 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1509030170.10651.59.camel@perches.com> (raw)

Comparing a cache warm git grep vs command line grep
shows significant differences in cpu & wall clock.

Any ideas how to improve this?

$ time git grep "\bseq_.*%p\W" | wc -l
112

real	0m4.271s
user	0m15.520s
sys	0m0.395s

$ time grep -r --include=*.[ch] "\bseq_.*%p\W" * | wc -l
112

real	0m1.164s
user	0m0.847s
sys	0m0.314s
