New Revision: 341257
URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/341257

Log:
  Replace hand-crafted naive byte-by-byte zero block detection routine
  with macro based around memcmp(). The latter is expected to be some
  8 times faster on a modern 64-bit architectures.
  
  In practice, throughput of doing conv=sparse from /dev/zero to /dev/null
  went up some 5-fold here from 1.9GB/sec to 9.7GB/sec with this change
  (bs=128k).
  
  MFC after:    2 weeks
