Cscope egrep speedup

Question

I use cscope in vim to search for stuff in a large codebase. I find the "cs f e" option too slow. Anyway tips speed it up. I build my cscope database using cscope -bq

Answer 1

cscope will not speedup grep and egrep with database.

Egrep function can't use cscope database.

So, move your code to local fs, install more memory, disable collating via env LC_ALL=C or LC_ALL=POSIX
