| |
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
