does this seem normal?

: unix; time sed -e 's/e/E/g' fortunes > /dev/null
0.01u 0.02s 0.03r        sed -e s/e/E/g fortunes
: unix; time 9sed -e 's/e/E/g' fortunes > /dev/null
0.17u 0.00s 0.17r        9sed -e s/e/E/g fortunes

the difference seems to get greater (percentage) with more
complicated scripts (although i don't have an example that
is more complicated without hitting unix/plan9 sed
differences).

is this just the inherent cost of adding another abstraction
layer, is there something in the plan 9 sed version, or is
something buggered on my system?
