The "-R" option does not exist in many versions of grep such as that which is provided with AIX 5.2
Jared, your version of the command is indeed an order of magnitude faster than using the -exec option of find
With the often minor but sometimes annoying differences in the standard UNIX utilities on different platforms it is good to know multiple command patterns to accomplish the same task. In a multiple platform shop you never know when you might have to tweak a script to get the same results.
