Comparing anything to lexgrog isn't very interesting; it's a debugging
tool and is not in itself very performance-sensitive.  As I've explained
elsewhere, the interesting thing is mandb, which uses the same code
in-process to scan a whole tree of pages in one go.  I do not expect to
ever want to replace that with a shell pipeline.
