So.. we're going towards the bloated concept again?
Not exactly... The issue is the input file.
In RH 9 , the input file probably was iso8859-1 and then it was
processed without any conversion , as the whole system was using
iso8859-1. Now in fedora , the input file has to be converted by the
app to UTF8 , so this extra step means that FC will be a bit slower
than a native iso8859-1 system . If the system was native UTF8 and the
input file was also UTF8, it should be at least as fast as a native ISO
system.
