With the above numbers, it looks like the memchr() is quite a > bit faster, at least under these conditions! And not under load: laz@vdr-tng 2006-02-01.18.28.50.50.del $ ~/stmp 001.vdr Found 12721024 matches in 47.0021 seconds Found 12721024 matches in 32.8197 seconds memchr() definitely looks better for my Epia system. I'll try Reinhard's new patch next... Cheers, Laz
