Step 2: Get it to work *fast* Removed big chunks of CPU time for a simple clear-text password test
In some cases, hashes are faster than trees (read: constantly changing data). In others, trees are faster than hashes (data that doesn't change). And caching pointers makes the code a little more complicated, but much faster.
Right now it's about 20% faster than 1.x for the same test.
OK. Let me know when you have got it to a point where you think its _mostly_ stable and I will update one of my servers and see which bits fall off :-) Cheers -- Peter Nixon http://www.peternixon.net/ PGP Key: http://www.peternixon.net/public.asc
