Is that a significant enough difference to warrant a new variant?It may not be worth adding another variant for a mere 1-2% overall gain for string routines but maybe I've misread the results and you have a better justification for this. Please let me know if you do.
Ugh, I have in fact misread the results; sorry about that. The compare_strings.py script has the -b flag to change the baseline to compare against, so you can use that to show results relative to __memset_generic so that it's clearer.
Looks fine to me. Siddhesh
