I think you are missing the point somewhat. The thing you need to benchmark against is the older bash version before the 'igncr' option even existed, which read every script one byte at a time regardless of mount type or line endings. With typical 'configure' scripts easily exceeding 200 kB (and some more than 2.5 MB!), this resulted in massive overhead. *That* was the performance hit that motivated this whole ordeal in the first place. I understand you are advocating for igncr being set by default, but I got the impression that everyone agreed that this would probably be a good idea, and that Eric would probably make this the default eventually.
