Having done quite a bit of testing lately, I'd say: yes. It's
currently the slowest part of the shell, and used quite often.

Well, I've written: a) a parser that immediatly produces the wordcode
(still recursive), b) a non-recursive execution code c) several
optimisations.
Unfortunately, b) doesn't seem to make things faster and probably less
easy to read (I've only tested this on a Intel/Linux box yet, it may
be different on other machines). And, unfortunately, I overwrote the
patch for a) alone, so now I have it only for a) and c) together. I'll
try to separate them again, but I don't know when I'll find the time.
And none of these needs to be in 3.1.7, of course.
Bye
Sven
P.S.: c) is quite good, almost 30% faster than before.
