How do you benchmark something like that? What is 2 to 4 times faster? Is it the runtime of the function? Does it include or exclude function call overhead? What sort of data? Is it relatively short data like paths or much larger data? On my system the compiled code is 425 bytes, compared to 102 bytes for the APR code. That means your code pushes over 300 other bytes out of the cache. Does that mean something else gets slower? Should this code be in APR rather than Subversion? -- Philip
