Hi,
I made /bin/sh point to dash instead of bash and measure how this change
speeds up a few randomly picked configure scripts.

The speedup achieved is:

 pkg-config:  2%
 libarchive:  3%
 llvm:        7%
 gcc:        24%
 coreutils:  17%
 openssh:     9%
 htop:       13%

Method used:

  cd /some/tmpfs
  bsdtar xf /the/package.tar.gz
  time ./configure
  # switch /bin/sh symlink
  rm -rf the-extracted-package
  bsdtar xf /the/package.tar.gz
  time ./configure

Regards,
Tilman
