Hi,

- Is there any performance drop in file package version file-5.11 when
compared to file-5.03?
- Is the performance of file package and libmagic dependent on the size of
magic database by any chance?
- Does the new magic wrappers have any kind of performance issue?
- How efficient is the magic database parsing done by libmagic?

Thanks,
Rebel
