Hi,
is anyone working on PPC optimizations for glibc?
I just lifted in the memmove() code from the Linux kernel into glibc,
and a simple test showed a 110% performance increase on both memcpy()
and memmove()!
The reason I'm asking if anyone is working on this is that the kernel
code is under normal GPL, so I need to know if I should spend time
on either asking the author to change the license to LGPL or reimplement
them under LGPL myself.
