SSE2 is already scary-fast. I benchmarked the SSE2 tolower code on my laptop: it was chewing through strings at 18 GiB/s, i.e. 50ps per byte. This was a benchmark written in C -- you would have a lot of trouble making a PHP tight loop in which SSE2 case conversion is the slow part. -- Tim Starling -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: https://www.php.net/unsub.php
