Scott Carey commented on AVRO-939:
----------------------------------
That is what it looks like -- a modest gain for larger sizes and a loss for
smaller sizes. I have not had time to look into more details. I suspect there
are some ways to improve the 10 byte time. It would be useful to see a few
other data points around that -- 5 bytes, 25 bytes, 50 bytes. The slowdown
for smaller sizes is an issue, and the modest improvement for larger ones is a
surprise. There may be something getting in the way of better improvements
there as well -- or the JVM is doing a better job than expected optimizing this.

> Google's Guava libraries include an optimized implementation of lexicographic
> byte comparison based on sun.misc.Unsafe that's ~4x faster than the normal
