I don't think that's the case, you know. If I run the following:
[wmcdonald at stella ~]$ ls -lh /tmp/messages.1
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4.3M Mar 14 20:03 /tmp/messages.1
[wmcdonald at stella ~]$ time cat /tmp/messages.1 1> /dev/null
real 0m0.018s
user 0m0.001s
sys 0m0.017s
[wmcdonald at stella ~]$ time cat /tmp/messages.1 | grep '*.foo' 1> /dev/null
real 0m0.047s
user 0m0.021s
sys 0m0.026s
Running both commands repeatedly shows similar time differences, I
think 'time''s timing the execution time of the whole command.
Will.
