           Summary: find in files part is dog slow
           Product: kate
           Version: 2.2
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kwrite-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: rokrau yahoo com


Version:           2.2 (using KDE 3.2.0-0.fdr.5.rh90, Red Hat Linux release 9 \
                (Shrike))
Compiler:          gcc version 3.2.2 20030222 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.2-5)
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.4.20-28.9

find in files takes forever for large directories because the -exec option was never \
really intended for a grep. A much faster approach would be to pipe the find result \
to xarg grep. 

Example: 
Instead of doing 

find /roland/src/ftn/ \( -name *.f \) -exec grep -n -H -e stop {} \;

issue

find /roland/src/ftn/ \( -name *.f \) | xargs  grep -n -H -e stop

The latter is many times faster in large directories.
