Once I set out to prove that wrong.
My test was purely cpu bound, to see the real benfit from the omptimization.
I have since lost my resaults... but you can do it yourself... Here is what I did
time cat/dev/kcore | gzip -f >/dev/null
My resaults showed that whith correct optimization I would gain upto 10% increse in throughput.
But, in the real world, the gain would be less.
