Todd Lipcon commented on HDFS-2080:
-----------------------------------
I'll be pretty surprised if you can approach the performance of SSE4.2 in
software. See http://download.intel.com/design/intarch/papers/323405.pdf --
we're talking 0.14 cycles/byte fully optimized!
I'll try to post code this weekend so you can experiment as well.
> Speed up DFS read path

> I've developed a series of patches that speeds up the HDFS read path by a
> factor of about 2.5x (~300M/sec to ~800M/sec for localhost reading from
> buffer cache) and also will make it easier to allow for advanced users (eg
> hbase) to skip a buffer copy.
