These shouldn't affect grep's runtime performance.

I don't know why you're observing the performance you do.  It could be that 
you're building 'grep' differently from the way Gentoo builds it.  You might try 
building both grep 2.21 and grep master yourself, with the same build procedure 
both ways.
