Re: Question about ash and getopts

Performance of configure scripts was abysmal when /bin/sh == /bin/bash.

Umm, ash+getopts != bash. 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.


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..
