Wow, that brings back memories! The x86 has xlat as well, which can be used with lodsb and stosb for efficient string translation. The question is whether the go compiler will produce optimized code using these instructions. I was not disagreeing with Tamás. My point was simply that without benchmarking, or prior in-depth knowledge of both how the Go compiler translates these constructs to assembly and the characteristics of the processor/motherboard/memory bus, it is hard to say which Go algorithm is the fastest for the OP's data. ...Marvin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
