Oh, I didn't notice the change was already checked-in. Just tested it against an English manpage (gprof.1 from binutils-2.20.51.0.7), with: $ ./test-groff -Tutf8 -rIN=8n -ww -man gprof.1 2010-12-18 (from ChangeLog): % cumulative self self total time seconds seconds calls ms/call ms/call name 0.00 0.27 0.00 116716 0.00 0.00 charinfo::get_flags() Today: 0.00 0.05 0.00 2426 0.00 0.00 charinfo::get_flags() The number of calls gets ~50 times fewer. Actually the speed improvement is sensible. FWIW, with the test case of Japanese manpage (http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/groff/2010-12/msg00030.html): 2010-12-18 (from ChangeLog): 0.00 0.17 0.00 30961 0.00 0.01 charinfo::get_flags() Today: 0.00 0.01 0.00 4129 0.00 0.00 charinfo::get_flags() Regards, -- Daiki Ueno
