Hi at the gnu grep development team
I'd like to suggest a new feature
for: grep --recursive
The grep --recursive should work in parallel.
Rational:
This could speed up the grep by the numbers of threads
Currently, the --recursive option works on every file in sequence.
Instead, I want to start
There's no need for special logic in grep to run parallel grep's.
The "parallel" command can handle that for you.
For example, on the 12 core, 24 thread Ryzen CPU that I am using:
find $HOME -xdev -type f -ctime -333 | wc -l ## counts 136126 files.
find $HOME -xdev -type f -ctime -333 |

There might be, if one wants to use a parallel grep to search a single
large file.

I'm but one user, and a rather idiosyncratic user at that,
but for my usage patterns, the specialized logic that it
would take to run a parallelized grep on a large file
would likely not shrink the elapsed time enough to justify
the coding, docum
