[PATCH] zlib: Optimize inffast when copying direct from output

From: Joakim Tjernlund
Date: Thu Nov 12 2009 - 04:12:54 EST


JFFS2 uses lesser compression ratio and inflate always
ends up in "copy direct from output" case.
This patch tries to optimize the direct copy procedure.
Uses get_unaligned() but only in one place.
The copy loop just above this one can also use this
optimization, but I havn't done so as I have not tested if it
is a win there too.
On my MPC8321 this is about 17% faster on my JFFS2 root FS
than the original.
