When I write code so i can keep the
str = str[1 .. str.length]
It leads to lager code overall and decreases performance.
both in table lookup and in the multi-branch code.
update:
for ldc the table-lookup code is faster 27% then the current popFront.
on dmd the table-lookup is 2% faster then the current popFront.
for ldc the branching code is 23% faster then the current popFront
for dmd the branching code is 20% faster then the current popFront
Thanks! I'd say make sure there is exactly 0% loss on performance
compared to the popFront in the ASCII case, and if so make a PR with the
table version. -- Andrei
