I notice that FreeBSD/Alpha still uses the standard (portable) bcmp() implementation in libkern. Combined with gcc-2.7.2, this gives very poor performance. I recently wrote a somewhat improved bcmp() that provides a substantial speed-up: 3-5 times with gcc2.7.2, twice as fast again with DEC's cc. Further details are in my post to -hackers on Thu Feb 25 10:35:36 1999 +1100 Peter To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
