Port 80 is not a good sample for testing, as it should be very near the
beginning of the file, so the most favorable case.
Try with a protocol near the end of the file, difference should be much bigger.
Worst case for the search is with a protocol that is not in the file.
I don't know what happen when resolution fail. Any idea?
