It turns out I may have finally reproduced my diff speed regression at home - just today - and I read this :) I may use it to test, nice timing! About my unrelated regression, TL;DR, have anyone benchmarked under a VM?

Overall the diff was over 3x as slow where I tested, and I measured a couple timings between mmap of the same two large files between the two version, the delta was approx 10x! (no other syscalls so it's all computing and - if my theory proves right - I guess a lot of pagefaults or similar handling control back to the host). I prepped a VM where I will do more testing (I ran one preliminary test and there seemed to be a visible difference, but I didn't have a proper repo to test with yet). The point being it might be worth comparing the two on VM's as well. Regards, Thomas
