Hello,
thank you for your bug report.

the last "stable" version of grep is 2.5. Version 2.5.1 seems to be
considered as development version.
So the next natural step is to test version 2.5. Use grep-2.5.tar.bz2
from ftp.gnu.org, if you won't be able to find a pre-packed src rpm.
Then I'd look at the diff between the two versions where the performance
changed, break the diff into smaller patches until I find the change
which causes the problem.
I could prepare such "sub-versions" so that you can test them; this way
we can probably find out what's the problem. (Mail me if you are intersted.)
Thank you again,
