 [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grep|Grep]] is used extensively by dCore to crawl through extensions, dependency lists and large database files to import and update SCEs. [[http://www.gnu.org/software/grep/manual/grep.html|GNU Grep]] provides faster performance than the built-in [[https://busybox.net/downloads/BusyBox.html|BusyBox]] version. The recommendation is to ensure GNU Grep is installed and utilized.

 To confirm whether this Grep hassle is worthwhile, an 11 MB mupdf.sce (PDF reader) update check was completed as a case study. This is a moderately sized extension not imported with advanced techniques, such as a dependency import. On slow hardware /bb/grep took 1min:27sec to complete an update check versus 0min:37sec using /bin/grep.
