What OS is this person running where this is a possibility? Outside of bad regexps with e.g. large capture groups, a simple grep over a large bunch of data shouldn't cause any issues and should use a steady amount of memory.

Otherwise statements like "taking too much cpu" seem quite strange to me. If the OP could provide more precise reproduction steps then I'd be happy to look into it.
