> bzero 92338 6.5 2.6 > bcopy_samealign_lp 71123 5.0 2.0 I built a kernel last year using Compaq's implementation of these routines. A lot can be gained by using 21264-optimized implementations. (Unfortunately, the code I was given by Compaq was under NDA.) Alpha Processor (now API Networks) has, however, released optimized implementations for Linux. There are patches on their web site. Having talked to one hybrid business/technical person there, I doubt that they would balk at dual-licensing these patches under a BSD and GPL license.
