Sorry, I couldn't see any essential difference between this new implementation and the original one except that the former tries to use the library function - bsearch() to replace the original binary search algorithm implemented in TIPC itself. Therefore, I don't think the change will have a big impact on performance. If I miss something, please let me know.
