Hi, I've met some strange diff with the histogram algorithm. I know this has a lot of magic in it, and it's probably not so trivial to improve, and maybe my code base is so weird that it makes the histogram do crazy stuff, but I wanted to show it to you in case there's anything that can be improved. So, patience is showing a better diff than histogram, which shouldn't happen usually, and less in this case, where p++ is such a common thing to do (although maybe this nxt_slow_path() macro is called a lot in the file and confuses the histogram?).
