That was not my question, but then in a way it was. I was trying to =
assess the performance difference between a library string function =
written C (like ap_cpystrn) and the string copying functions generated =
by the compiler. The ones generated by the compiler uses (in the iAPX86 =
case) special string/array machinecode functions which are much faster.=20

Now this is of course irrelevant if all string manipulation in apache =
must use special functions.
