Right, a quick test here shows only a 0.8% gain from bypassing stdio. However I also noticed that the digest routines in gnulib do fread(4096). Bumping that up to 32KiB gives a 3% boost. That would be increased even more if more efficient checksumming routines are used (which is on the horizon). Note the coreutils min was bumped to 32KiB recently: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=coreutils.git;a=commit;h=55efc5f Does anyone have any objections to increasing the stack requirement by 28672 bytes? cheers, Pádraig.
