-This is a patched version of zlib, modified to use
-Pentium-Pro-optimized assembly code in the deflation algorithm. The
-files changed/added by this patch are:
-
-README.686
-match.S
-
-The speedup that this patch provides varies, depending on whether the
-compiler used to build the original version of zlib falls afoul of the
-PPro's speed traps. My own tests show a speedup of around 10-20% at
-the default compression level, and 20-30% using -9, against a version
-compiled using gcc 2.7.2.3. Your mileage may vary.
-
-Note that this code has been tailored for the PPro/PII in particular,
-and will not perform particuarly well on a Pentium.
-
-If you are using an assembler other than GNU as, you will have to
-translate match.S to use your assembler's syntax. (Have fun.)

-Added for zlib 1.1.3:
-
-The patches come from
-http://www.muppetlabs.com/~breadbox/software/assembly.html
-
-To compile zlib with this asm file, copy match.S to the zlib directory
-then do:
-
-CFLAGS="-O3 -DASMV" ./configure
-make OBJA=match.o
-
-
-Update:
-
-I've been ignoring these assembly routines for years, believing that
-gcc's generated code had caught up with it sometime around gcc 2.95
-and the major rearchitecting of the Pentium 4. However, I recently
-learned that, despite what I believed, this code still has some life
-in it. On the Pentium 4 and AMD64 chips, it continues to run about 8%
-faster than the code produced by gcc 4.1.
-
-In acknowledgement of its continuing usefulness, I've altered the
-license to match that of the rest of zlib. Share and Enjoy!
