The line "Usually faster in most cases" is redundant, "Usually" and "in most cases" being basically identical. Should be by removing either of the two.

Fix: 

Change the text from "This is the default behavior. Usually faster in most cases." to "This is the default behavior and is faster in most cases." or similar.

http://monsted.dk/locate.patch does just that.
How-To-Repeat: "man locate" under -m :)

I did a reword of the offending sentence, slightly different than your 
suggestions.  I also reworded another line with bad grammar ;)  Thanks 
for pointing this out.
