For example, -using the malloc that comes with GNU Emacs version 18 can give a -worthwhile (and sometimes spectacular) performance improvement. - -When you have build groff, you can use the test-groff script to try -groff out on one of the man pages. (Use the .n files not the .man -files.) The test-groff script sets up environment variables to allow -groff to run without being installed. The current directory must be -the build directory when the script is run.
