The C version is about three times as fast as the PERL version. :-)
Here is a statistics output when GLOBAL's source code is processed.

o PERL version

- Elapsed time of making duplicate entries ............         15 seconds.
- Elapsed time of making function index ...............          1 seconds.
- Elapsed time of making file index ...................          0 seconds.
- Elapsed time of making hypertext ....................         55 seconds.
- The entire elapsed time .............................         71 seconds.

o C version

- Elapsed time of making duplicate entries ............          9 seconds.
- Elapsed time of making function index ...............          0 seconds.
- Elapsed time of making file index ...................          0 seconds.
- Elapsed time of making hypertext ....................         14 seconds.
- The entire elapsed time .............................         23 seconds.

Because the C version is only a replacement of the PERL version,
I think that there is still room of optimization.
