I want to focus on several areas. From profiling biggest speedup could 
get most by optimizing malloc. I have several ideas,

I split malloc in wiki as it will take long
http://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Development_Todo/Enhancing_malloc
And will post in separate thread.

Second is improving random number generator. 

Third that I will complete string functions optimization on x86-64.
