In PATCH v8, we stopped imitating the grep function and
changed it to call the grep function.

About the first problem,
I still don't understand what you mean by highlighting problem.
On my environment, the "*grep*" buffer is colored
(i.e. filnemame:line_number part on each line is colored).

About the second problem,
If the "hang" is until writing to tempfile is completed, it is unavoidable
as long as tempfile is used.
If the "hang" is no response from Emacs when "cat tempfile" takes a
long time, we can reduce the duration by detecting a change in
(point-max) and exiting the loop.
