stack commented on HBASE-4012:
------------------------------
I like this kinda comment:
{code}
* Compare 8 bytes at a time. Benchmarking shows comparing 8 bytes at a
* time is no slower than comparing 4 bytes at a time even on 32-bit.
* On the other hand, it is substantially faster on 64-bit.
{code}
> Further optimize byte comparison methods
