No to all. Subsequent to Heikki's change (already in master) to use the CRC-32C algorithm (instead of the earlier mistakenly-reflected-but-not-quite one), both the slice-by-8 software implementation posted earlier and the SSE4.2 CRC32* instructions will compute exactly the same value. (Yes, I have verified this in both cases.) -- Abhijit -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list ([email protected]) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
