| 12 | - very minor code improvements. |
13 | - update large decoder example to disable OPT_AUTOCHK dn use Smerge -1. |
| 13 | - use getc instead of fgetc. |
14 | - some micro-optimisations. |
| 14 | - clean up FP _symbol names. |
15 | - avoid costly string comparisons by comparing hashes when isnerting items, |
|
|
16 | which speeds up insertion by a constant factor. |
|
|
17 | - improve uulist (and other) structure layout and size. |
|
|
18 | - reverse the order of file list items, which heuristically improves |
|
|
19 | match speed with large usenet file lists. |
|
|
20 | - use getc instead of fgetc, which makes no difference on gnu/linux. |
|
|
21 | - clean up _FP symbol names toi not start with an underscore. |
| 15 | - use feof_unlocked and ferror_unlocked. |
22 | - use feof_unlocked and ferror_unlocked. |
| 16 | - implement a faster ascii-only strnicmp. |
23 | - implement a faster ascii-only strnicmp. |
|
|
24 | - misc very minor code improvements. |
|
|
25 | - remove quite a bit of pre-posix/dos/etc. cruft. |
|
|
26 | - use flockfile, if available, for a potential but small |
|
|
27 | speed gain. |
|
|
28 | - speed up inner yenc decoder loop. |
