+>>>>> I think it's because my patch focuses on match_glob while the memoize patch focuses on `glob2re`, and `glob2re` is called in `filecheck`, `meta` and `po` as well as in `match_glob` and `match_user`; thus the memoized `glob2re` is dealing with a bigger set of globs to look up, and thus could be just that little bit slower. -- [[KathrynAndersen]]

+like so:

+    perl -Iblib/lib -d:Profile ikiwiki.in -setup docwiki.setup --no-verbose
+
+The docwiki appears to use fewer glob matches than Kathryn's wiki.
