Last time I checked (on Octeon) gzip was completely dominated by the hash table search of the deflation code. The new ABIs shine when you have function calls or 64-bit arithmetic, which I don't think is the case in gzip. I might look at the 4.3.2->trunk regressions (if I can reproduce on Octeon). Adam
