Thank you for the results, they are interesting. I didn't expect to see any regression for this benchmark. Also, I would expect the non-special character cases and the 1/3 special character cases to perform similarly, since we are not using SIMD for this benchmark. I noticed that the timings in your narrow benchmark (both x86 and ARM) are quite short. Would it be possible to extend the test so that the total runtime is closer to ~10,000 ms? That might give us more stable results. Here is my benchmark with using your script: WIDE: Total 500000 lines and each line is 4096 bytes. NARROW: Total 1500000 lines and each line is 2-4 bytes (`"A""A"` and `A\\A`). +---------+---------------+---------------+---------------+----------------+ | WIDE | TXT None | TXT 1/3 | CSV None | CSV 1/3 | +---------+---------------+---------------+---------------+----------------+ | master | 10512 | 11133 | 12241 | 14321 | +---------+---------------+---------------+---------------+----------------+ | patched | 10000 (-%4.8) | 10804 (-%2.9) | 11571 (-%5.4) | 14008 (-%2.18) | +---------+---------------+---------------+---------------+----------------+ | | | | | | +---------+---------------+---------------+---------------+----------------+ | NARROW | | | | | +---------+---------------+---------------+---------------+----------------+ | master | 9702 | 9745 | 9784 | 10149 | +---------+---------------+---------------+---------------+----------------+ | patched | 9344 (-%3.6) | 9477 (-%2.7) | 9439 (-%3.5) | 9751 (-%3.9) | +---------+---------------+---------------+---------------+----------------+ The results look promising to me. -- Regards, Nazir Bilal Yavuz Microsoft
