Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Hi all, I finally have prepared a small package that updates the LZO version in the Linux kernel. Please get it from: http://www.oberhumer.com/opensource/lzo/download/Testing/linux-kernel-lzo-20120716.tar.gz As stated in the README this version is significantly faster (typically more than 2 times faster!) than the current version, has been thoroughly tested on x86_64/i386/powerpc platforms and is intended to get included into the official Linux 3.6 or 3.7 release. I encourage all compression users to test and benchmark this new version, and I also would ask some official LZO maintainer to convert the updated source files into a GIT commit and possibly push it to Linus or linux-next. Share and enjoy, Markus Signed-off-by: Markus F.X.J. Oberhumer" -- Markus Oberhumer, , http://www.oberhumer.com/
