Profile guided and string routines?

2010-12-16 Thread David Gilbert
Does anyone have any experience of what can be profiled in the profiled guided optimisations? One of the problems with some of the string routines is that you can write pretty neat fast routines that work well for long strings - but most of the calls actually pass short strings and the overhead of
