Thanks a lot.
I have applied your patch. Unfortunately, that's still not the main
bottleneck in Autoconf. It does improve your issue, but for instance
it has no impact on the fileutils nor Autoconf's test suite. I am
still deeply convinced we need more assistance from M4, especially to
mainta

Hi,
First: I'm not subscribed here, so please leave the cc:.
I have updated my (linux) distro, which uses autoconf 2.52 (I only used
exclusively 2.1x before), and now I were shocked how slow autoconf is.
The packages I'm concerned about are KDE ones (obviously ;) ), esp.
kdebase. KDE's packages
