True. Marcel did the compression and I'm not familiar with the code.
NField was called in loops where it could have been stored in a temporary
variable. Still, the loops exists and that means that the compression does
billion operations on a 5000 page pool.

Again, I'm not sure that we will gain significant performances because
of that. I've compiled and profiled with -O2 -p (no -g) and I see the
following:
Each sample counts as 0.01 seconds.
% cumulative self self total
time seconds seconds calls us/call us/call name
13.33 0.02 0.02 __bam_c_put

Note that *all* methods listed from WordKey are inline. For instance
0.00 0.15 0.00 144332 0.00 0.00 WordKey::IsDefined(int) const
is merely a 'return setbits & constant'. I doubt very much that such
a thing eats 0.15 sec when repeated 144332 times on a PIII500. We see
profiling noise here. I should check to see if there is a way for
gprof (-p) to count inlined functions as part of the calling function,
without maintaining a specific counter for them.
Cheers,
