Umm, ash+getopts != bash. I think this is an apples-and-oranges 
comparison. Certainly ash (in any form) would be much faster than bash - 
no argument there, and I don't think anyone's advocating linking sh to 
bash again.

I guess the big question now is: how would Peter "prove" to anyone's 
liking that ash+getopts ~= ash-getopts in performance (and nowhere near 
"bash")?  Is there some acceptance criterion that anyone's willing to 
spell out? PTC is fine, but it's hard to evaluate a patch unless an 
objective (or even subjective) performance criterion is spelled out..
