Tested and applied now. I've also adoped JIT/i386 to use string_equal for C<eq> and C<ne> string ops. This speeds up these ops considerably *and* in the case what your test is showing, numbers indicate: No stored hashval, 1000000 lookups each same: 0.018617 sec equal: 0.487958 sec not equal: 0.517992 sec With stored hashval, 1000000 lookups each same: 0.019674 sec equal: 0.487740 sec not equal: 0.038465 sec ... a factor ~14 performance increase for the "not equal" case. > JEff Thanks, leo
