Subject: zfec: reorder the inner loop to be more cache-friendly
X-Git-Url: https://git.rkrishnan.org/zeppelin?a=commitdiff_plain;h=6c68dd897ab354bb141102dd15acc9fde21b3372;p=tahoe-lafs%2Fzfec.git

zfec: reorder the inner loop to be more cache-friendly

Loop over this stride of each input block before looping over all strides of
this input block.  In theory, this should allow the strides of the input blocks
to remain in cache while we produce all of the output blocks.
