RH-9 has a UTF-8 locale set by default. Perl 5.8.0 takes notice of that, and expects all your files to UTF-8, by default. The problem is UTF-8 is really slow. 

[root@skyway2 map]# echo $LANG
en_US.UTF-8
[root@skyway2 map]# time bash -c 'grep cluster /var/www/tech/websphere/*.html| wc -l'
     99
 
real    0m0.484s
user    0m0.370s
sys     0m0.010s

[root@skyway2 map]# LANG=C
[root@skyway2 map]# time bash -c 'grep cluster /var/www/tech/websphere/*.html| wc -l'
     99
 
real    0m0.017s
user    0m0.000s
sys     0m0.010s

To fix, change your default locale, given you don't use utf-8. Change in:

/etc/sysconfig/i18n
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d

For example:

$ cat /etc/sysconfig/i18n
#LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
LANG="C"
SUPPORTED="en_US.UTF-8:en_US:en"
SYSFONT="latarcyrheb-sun16"
