Package: gzip Version: 1.3.5-14 please define UNALIGNED_OK when building the amd64 target... unaligneds are very inexpensive on all intel and amd cpus.
i benchmarked gzip -9 on linux-2.6.17.tar with this define and i see a 2.5% speedup on p4, a64, and a 9% speedup on core2. note that this wasn't necessary on 32-bit x86 because there's custom 32-bit assembly which uses unaligneds even more aggressively than the C code does when given UNALIGNED_OK. -dean -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
