Instead of redirecting all grep output to /dev/null, we can just pass in -q instead. This preserves the exit code behavior, but is faster. As grep returns true if it finds at least one match, grep can exit promptly after finding the first line and doesn't need to find more occurrences which would be redirected to /dev/null anyways. This is true for the gnu version of grep. I am not sure if all versions of grep support this optimization. In case it is not, we'd revert this patch.
