I don't know exactly what you want to do, I initially chimed in this
conversation to react to Juri's "GNU grep has no option to truncate
output", to mention that GNU grep does have an option to do this; perhaps
it doesn't do exactly what you want.
I could be wrong, but I believe that adapting what you want to what GNU
grep provides will always be more efficient than the opposite.

No, once for each file. "grep -nbo '^.' FILE" returns a "<line>:<offset
of first char>:<first char>" line for each line in FILE. With this you
can easily calculate the offset of a match on a given line. This will be
more efficient than calculating the offset of a match by parsing each line
with Elisp code.
