From 9884fd8df195fe48d4e1be2279b419be96127cae Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Benjamin LaHaise Date: Wed, 1 Feb 2006 03:05:30 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] Use 32 bit division in slab_put_obj() Improve the performance of slab_put_obj(). Without the cast, gcc considers ptrdiff_t a 64 bit signed integer and ends up emitting code to use a full signed 128 bit divide on EM64T, which is substantially slower than a 32 bit unsigned divide. I noticed this when looking at the profile of a case where the slab balance is just on edge and thrashes back and forth freeing a block.
