Hi Rich,
Does anyone have the Usenix paper (80's timeframe
I think) about making lex
go fast? It was by Vern Paxson or Van Jacobson IIRC. Maybe only an
abstract was published. The talk ended with a chart showing some CPU
times, and the modified lex was only slightly slower than cat. Maybe Vern
since he contributed to what became flex.
Google Scholar's ‘Vancouver’ style citation:
Jacobson V. Tuning UNIX Lex or it's NOT true what they say
about Lex. InUSENIX Conference Proceedings (Washington,
DC, Winter 1987) 1987 (pp. 163-164).
Lack of space after ‘In’ is Google, not me.
I didn't find the paper itself, just citations of it.

Cheers, Ralph.
