I was fed up with the lack of a fast C++ solution too, so I hacked one
together this morning. When I say "hacked", I mean HACKED! I'm not quite
ready to reveal it to the world. I need that King James Bible file.
Anyone got a URL?

I am rather disappointed that nobody submitted an efficient C/C++
solution, except for Jason's gperf one. I can understand why - it
takes a while to code, and I offered on prize money for winning the
CPU contest. And the guys that know how to write it already have jobs
they like, I suppose, and are quite busy.
As good as the optimizers are today, if you write good C, the
optimizer will most likely beat human-coded assembler. However, I do
not think that good Java will beat good C on this.
