Subject: Re: [PATCH RFC 06/11] mbuf: replace data pointer by an offset
Date: Tue, 13 May 2014 16:09:28 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1520868.8Zgzi5QM8B@xps13> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1FD9B82B8BF2CF418D9A1000154491D9740AA95E-P5GAC/sN6hlcIJlls4ac1rfspsVTdybXVpNB7YpNyf8@public.gmane.org>

Hi Venky,

2014-05-13 13:54, Venkatesan, Venky:
> An alternative way to save 6 bytes (without the side effects this change

It's very difficult to compare things without code examples.
Please, provide:
- a patch for your proposal
- an example application which allows to test and understand the performance 
issue you are pointing out

PS: please don't top post, it makes this thread difficult to read
