By slow startup I mean that 0.1s is the fastest small Python program using optparse, os, sys, re will start up on my system (i7 2.0, ssd). Search and replace tool will be slower. I constantly get 0.02s-0.3s results from 'gr' on my small-to-medium repositories (up to ~80k sloc). 'ack' takes more than a second usually. Also it was written when I had HDD (not SSD) and codebase was on an encrypted image. It made enormous difference to me.

  Yes, I've mentioned it in my post. :) It's nice, but it does not perform replaces. I could add .xignore support though.
