Also [..].

It's possible to make such a change in c1args.c, but it won't do much
good, since Sed arguments tend to include wildcard characters quite
often.

I don't think this has anything to do with the recent changes.  I'd be
interested to know whether this slow-down happens only in CVS, and if
so, what change(s) cause it, because I couldn't see anything we
changed recently that would affect this (so I think v2.03 behaved the
same).
