[PATCH] i386 copy.S routine optimization?

[Yann Sionneau <yann.sionneau%gmail.com@localhost>]

Hello,

I already talked about this with Radoslaw Kujawa on IRC, I understood 
that it is far from trivial to say if it is good to apply the following 
patch [0] or not due to x86 cache and pipeline subtleties.

I thought it was a good idea but I am indeed not an x86 expert at all :)

However, if anyone has an explanation (and the time to write it down) 
about why this might not be a good idea, I would be interested in 
reading it, just for my own personal curiosity.

If no one has the time, no problem :)

Best regards,
