Do you mean that you are not sure if the improvement you made is what Vicent Marti meant by "zero count optimization" when e1273106 (ewah: compressed bitmap implementation, 2013-11-14) was written? Unfortunatelly, "what is "zero count optimization" in computer programming?" does not produce great hits, and you are probably better off to ask who wrote that comment (Cc'ed). A few general pieces of advice: * We usually don't do a cover letter for a single patch (instead we write extra explanation after the three-dash line). * An optimization patch usually is expected to come with performance measurement, just like a bugfix patch is expected to come with tests that show existing breakages that change the behaviour for the better with the fix. * Pay attention to coding style, as deviating from existing style distracts reviewers and causes them to miss obvious bugs. Thanks.
