Subject: Use Look-Ahead Hash for Next Long Check after Short Match (+0.5% Speed)
X-Git-Tag: v1.5.1~1^2~77^2~11
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=39f2491bfc70db883d45265af0f764d1e80cfa69;p=thirdparty%2Fzstd.git

Use Look-Ahead Hash for Next Long Check after Short Match (+0.5% Speed)

This costs a little ratio, unfortunately.
