OK, thanks.
I also built the snapshot successfully on a Fedora 17 system that I
use for real work. I just ran a performance test, FWIW. I searched
recursively in our source hierarchy of 6044 regular files and 1102
directories for a simple string.
time grep -Rin mystring src > /dev/null
Here are the results, averaged over three trials each, not including
any slow times clearly due to updating caches.
2.12 2.21 2.21.78-7da30

Version 2.12 was /bin/grep. The other two versions I built myself.
