it should be enough to set the C locale:
        export LC_ALL=C
(or "setenv LC_ALL C" in csh)

Then the performance should be accptable.  (Red Hat uses UTF8 locale
by default.)  Or you can define an alias to call
        LC_ALL=C grep
instead.

Another possibility is to recompile grep with "./configure --disable-nls".

This will be improved in future versions of grep.

Sorry for the problems,
