openbsd-ports/textproc/the_silver_searcher
sthen 36c316f56f update to the_silver_searcher-0.18.1, from maintainer Florian Stinglmayr
also update DESCR to add some information from upstream about why it's fast,
ok with Florian.

* Searching for literals (no regex) uses Boyer-Moore-Horspool strstr.
* Files are mmap()ed instead of read into a buffer.
* Regex searches use PCRE 8.21+'s JIT compiler.
* Ag calls pcre_study() before executing the regex on a jillion files.
* Instead of calling fnmatch() on every pattern in your ignore files,
  non-regex patterns are loaded into an array and binary searched.
* Ag uses Pthreads to take advantage of multiple CPU cores and search
  files in parallel.
