Package: aspell Version: 0.60.6-1 Severity: wishlist
I've compared the speed of Ispell and Aspell in pipe mode. Aspell appears to be roughly 60 times slower than Ispell. Although Aspell does more work than Ispell, this seems like quite a large difference. Can something simple be done to speed up Aspell a bit? -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.2 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fo_FO.ISO-8859-1, LC_CTYPE=fo_FO.ISO-8859-1 (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages aspell depends on: ii dictionaries-common 0.98.12 Common utilities for spelling dict ii libaspell15 0.60.6-1 GNU Aspell spell-checker runtime l ii libc6 2.7-18 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgcc1 1:4.3.2-1.1 GCC support library ii libncursesw5 5.7+20081213-1 shared libraries for terminal hand ii libstdc++6 4.3.2-1.1 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 Versions of packages aspell recommends: ii aspell-da [aspell6a-d 1.6.14-1 The Comprehensive Danish Dictionar ii aspell-en [aspell-dic 6.0-0-5.1 English dictionary for GNU Aspell ii aspell-fo [aspell-dic 0.2.33-1 The Faroese dictionary for aspell ii aspell-fr [aspell-dic 0.50-3-6 French dictionary for aspell ii aspell-is [aspell-dic 0.51-0-4 Icelandic dictionary for GNU Aspel ii aspell-it [aspell-dic 0.60.20060723ds1-1 The Italian dictionary for GNU Asp ii aspell-sv [aspell-dic 0.51-0-1 The Swedish dictionary for GNU asp Versions of packages aspell suggests: pn aspell-doc <none> (no description available) ii spellutils 0.7-5 Utilities to spell-check selective -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
