Hello there,

I'm new here and seldom use mail list. Please tell me if I did something  
improper.
Now I'm learning ansi C and socket programming these days. I read polipo  
source code and saw this (in event.c):

/* Let the compiler optimise the common cases */
if(dsize == sizeof(void*))
     memcpy(event->data, data, sizeof(void*));
else if(dsize == sizeof(StreamRequestRec))
     memcpy(event->data, data, sizeof(StreamRequestRec));
else if(dsize > 0)
     memcpy(event->data, data, dsize);

I really don't understand why this is a "optimise". I'll appreciate if  
someone can help.
