Subject: [PATCH] flex_array: avoid divisions when accessing elements
From: Jesse Gross <jesse@...ira.com>
On most architectures division is an expensive operation and accessing an
element currently requires four of them. This performance penalty
effectively precludes flex arrays from being used on any kind of fast
path. However, two of these divisions can be handled at creation time and
the others can be replaced by a reciprocal divide, completely avoiding
real divisions on access.
