--- Comment #3 from Helge Oldach <freebsd@oldach.net> ---
(In reply to Wolfram Schneider from comment #2)
Hmm. I have noticed that as well. I suspect it's a fallout of bug #253209, =
as I
noticed it was much more slowly after that fix.

However, I'm seeing the vast majority of slowdown with other locales but ut=
f-8
as well:

root@nuc ~ # grep -V
grep (BSD grep, GNU compatible) 2.6.0-FreeBSD
root@nuc ~ # time fgrep zpipe /usr/ports/INDEX-13
        0.28 real         0.15 user         0.06 sys
root@nuc ~ # time fgrep -i zpipe /usr/ports/INDEX-13
       13.87 real        13.86 user         0.00 sys
root@nuc ~ # LANG=3Den_US.UTF-8 time fgrep -i zpipe /usr/ports/INDEX-13
       17.67 real        17.65 user         0.01 sys
root@nuc ~ # LANG=3DC.UTF-8 time fgrep -i zpipe /usr/ports/INDEX-13
       17.63 real        17.59 user         0.02 sys
root@nuc ~ # LANG=3Den_US.iso8859-1 time fgrep -i zpipe /usr/ports/INDEX-13
       13.97 real        13.95 user         0.02 sys
root@nuc ~ # LANG=3DC time fgrep -i zpipe /usr/ports/INDEX-13
       14.00 real        13.97 user         0.03 sys
root@nuc ~ #

To summarize, "-i" adds two (!) orders of magnitude, and changing to a
multibyte character set adds some more 33% further on top.
