Hi Shantong,
First - sorry for the delay in replying; we've been busy finishing
merging the Oracle contributions to LibreOffice from OO.o.

Wow - this is brilliant :-)

Okay - sounds interesting; so each time we read a byte we re-scan that
list of sectors ?
So - I'll try to test out the patch, and more importantly createa a
unit test & verify the speedup if not tomorrow, then next week - it
shouldn't miss the 3.4 feature freeze anyhow.
Thanks so much ! what else are you working on ? also what profiling
tools are you using to locate performance hot-spots & how are you
verifying the speedup: is it wall-clock time or ?
Thanks !
Michael.
