To test frequent executions of coreutils out of a bash script I've run
the following script at vim's source directory:
for i in $(seq 1 100); do ./configure; done
It should execute significant number of awk, uname, ls, etc.
The difference in -z,now and without it is negligible - less than a
second of total 19 min 47 secs. So, I still think we should globally
enable it and disable for specific binaries :-)
Would perl/etc. really suffer from 10% startup slowdown? AFAIU the most
significant slowdown of web services is SQL or bloated script, but not
an interpreter.
Thanks,
