 Replying to [comment:3 nacin]:
 > Both levenshtein() and similar_text() are very slow. What kind of an
 effect might this have on speed of imports? WordPress.org can handle it,
 but it would be good to know what the slow-down will look like.

 I ran a few local tests.

 Importing 2k strings into a 20k strings database: about 2.5 seconds added
 with this patch
 Importing a 20k strings into a 2k strings database: about 4.5 seconds
 added with this patch

 Of course times get higher the less matches you have between the old and
 new databases, but I don't think time is too much of an issue here.

 I plan to test this on WP.com soon - I'll report the results here. (We do
 a full import every hour or so, and our main .pot file holds about 20k
 strings).
