If you don't search for a RE, it should be faster:

DESCRIPTION
The fgrep (fast grep) utility searches files for a character
string and prints all lines that contain that string. fgrep
is different from grep(1) and egrep(1) because it searches
for a string, instead of searching for a pattern that
matches an expression. It uses a fast and compact algorithm.
