Heh. Never thought of doing a profile!

I attached the entire gprof output, but here's the top few functions.

I did the test, 1 beater, 100 searches: 148 seconds total.

.. as it turns out the profile gzipped is still huge (100kb) so I put it
on my web server - snag it at

I'll do a profile for hte p2 and send post that in an hour or two
