I think this is an apples-and-oranges comparison. Certainly ash (in any form) would be much faster than bash - no argument there, and I don't think anyone's advocating linking sh to bash again. Nor was I. I was simply providing some history. >I guess the big question now is: how would Peter "prove" to anyone's liking that ash+getopts ~= ash-getopts in performance (and nowhere near "bash")? Is there some acceptance criterion that anyone's willing to spell out? PTC is fine, but it's hard to evaluate a patch unless an objective (or even subjective) performance criterion is spelled out.. I provided my suggestion, which Peter followed. It's the ash maintainer that has the final word on what, if anything, happens next and/or what the criteria should be. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
