I'm not sure what happened in the mean time, but when I did the tests in 2004, libz was faster. *sigh* The assembly doesn't seem to help much, at least not the longest_match version. Might be a good idea to look at crc32, but I don't have the time now :-( Joerg _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
