As you (the audience) might have noticed, "fool-for-a-day, troll-for-a-life-time" Jessica Jones, rolled over the boards again and was removed by admins....nothing unusual...this happens once a year...
But the really funny part is:
The discussion gave me an idea where threading can give some extra speed up....It's not related to the troll comments at all (CUDA for SHA1 etc...)
But a first small test was already pretty positive which gave a extra ~25% speed boost when sha1 input scanning was enabled....
For non sha1 runs it's not that big since you simply have pure lookups without decompression/sha1 and the actual gain by multiple threads is eaten up by the overhead to create the threads...
I will check how this scales for larger data and for number of threads....
So..Thank you Jessica Jones...you made my day. See you next year.
