I noticed a huge slow down of egrep after upgrading from Fedora 24 to Fedora 25. Basically running the command "egrep 'selected pair:|STATE-CHANGE' empathy-call.log", on a file whose size is 2GB, with 14213617 lines, and 11456 matching lines. It takes ~5s on Fedora 24, and 90 seconds on Fedora 25.
The problem is in 2.27, and has been fixed upstream by commit a43f8e6e83 in gnulib.
Seeing this here too with some major issues for logfile processing. Is there any ETA on the fix working its way downstream since there's no sign of an update to grep in testing yet?
FYI, as a workaround, reverting to v2.26-2.fc25 from Koji solves the performance issues but re-introduces the bugs fixed in v2.27 of grep, so pick your poison: https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=24941 https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=807299
