Aside from the tiny nit in 87efk9yfm2....@evledraar.gmail.com this looks good to me. I've tested this with the same method noted in 87vadpxv27....@evledraar.gmail.com against the version before it on similar test data, and got: * Reduction in user time by 0.42% * Reduction in system time by 3.17% * Reduction in RSS by 0.003209% * Reduction in page faults by 0% & 0.006539% (time(1) reports two different numbers) * Reduction in the I of I/O by 99.504132% (note: from 4840 bytes to 24 bytes, so some fluke...) * Reduction in the O of I/O by 0% I.e. there's no notable change at all, but I thought it would be useful to re-run this for context.
