I can confirm that this new code runs at the same speed
as the current lzo code in the Linux kernel on
my ARM926EJ-S based platform. I only tested decompression,
using the attached hacky userspace code.
# time ./lzo-bench/old/unlzop <lzoimage >/dev/null
real 0m 0.29s
# time ./lzo-bench/new/unlzop <lzoimage >/dev/null
real 0m 0.29s
(where lzoimage is a Linux Image compressed with lzop)
So, from my side there are no more objections.
Thanks for doing this work, Markus.
Johannes
