i second this, if this is what's making it slow ofc. Since i'm working in a unicode environment and it's very slow.

grep is an excellent tool, but when it's so slow on even a 2.4 GHz processor, 7200 rpm hd...

GNU tools should be quick on 200Mhz,4300 rpm hd's.

or maybe it's xterm that is slow.. or maybe.. or maybe..
