for strstarts(s, "prefix"), strlen("prefix") should *NOT* be compile
time constant. it is a loop and unavoidable to have strlen("prefix")
iterations.

for either constant string or non constant string. this patch
eliminating a loop which have strlen()iterations. i feel it is obvious
it can improve performance.
