The files +changed/added by this patch are: + +README.586 +match.S + +The effectiveness of these modifications is a bit marginal, as the the +program's bottleneck seems to be mostly L1-cache contention, for which +there is no real way to work around without rewriting the basic +algorithm. The speedup on average is around 5-10% (which is generally +less than the amount of variance between subsequent executions). +However, when used at level 9 compression, the cache contention can +drop enough for the assembly version to achieve 10-20% speedup (and +sometimes more, depending on the amount of overall redundancy in the +files). Even here, though, cache contention can still be the limiting +factor, depending on the nature of the program using the zlib library. +This may also mean that better improvements will be seen on a Pentium +with MMX, which suffers much less from L1-cache contention, but I have +not yet verified this. + +Note that this code has been tailored for the Pentium in particular, +and will not perform well on the Pentium Pro (due to the use of a +partial register in the inner loop). + +If you are using an assembler other than GNU as, you will have to +translate match.S to use your assembler's syntax.
