What just blew you away ? - the formatting is a bit screwed - I take it you have achieved a performace increase  - that is what drives you ?

I got 50-100MB increase in throughput depending on what I'm doing, with one optimization.

You need to get your hands on that server that LTT was showing on their video yesterday. It was a 128 core, 2TB ram with raided nvme pushing through 30GB/s under Windows and knocking on the door if 100GB/s on Linux.

Take heart. We all have to start somewhere.
What I'm doing to make it fast isn't even all that complicated. It's just combining two of the right things - in this case, memory mapped files w/ strpbrk()
Sometimes coding isn't about how "good" you are. As often as not it's about being in the right place at the right time. Half of the "good" code I write practically falls into my lap. The rest of the time I'm writing buggy garbage.

Early I posted some links to some music on youtube. As it often happens, one click leads to another and I ended up with the BGKO Barcelona Gipsy balKan Orchestra[^], in concert.
It's good background music, but what a strange surprise: they start of with Klezmer. Yet, come to think of it - not that much a surprise - both music's are from people that travel/are driven around Europe. The improve from both cultures - well just nice music to work by.
[edit/suppliment]
And I wandered on to the didgeridoo - including how to make you own and the basics of blowing Gabriel's other horn. Hypnotic. Also, sounds like a good background theme for hunting management for later stuffing and mounting

Provider name omittedQuote: It's over
2020, or as we like to call it the Year Formerly Known as Jerkface, has been an epic rollercoaster ride through an open sewage pit. It was almost worse than having to watch all the Transformers movies back to back. Almost. Let’s be honest, many of us spent the majority of 2020 inside our homes, slowly losing our marbles while moisturizing with Lysol. Was there crying involved? You bet there was, that stuff stings. But there were even more non-Lysol related tears shed by the billions of people around the world directly affected by events in 2020. And to all of those people, we send nothing but love, strength and wishes of peace and happiness.
So long, never come back
We have a made-up saying in Canada: "When life gives you lemons, you cut those lemons up and squirt them right into life’s eyes. Then you steal life’s wallet. Then you buy shoes. The normal kind, not snowshoes." So go ahead, grab that juicy lemon and squeeze it right into the eyeballs of 2020. Then stretch out your little toesies, slide on your newly acquired dancing shoes, and let’s joyfully tap dance on top of what remains of 2020! Nothing beats celebrations born from spite! Except celebrations that come with discounts... of course. Didn't see that segue coming, did you?
2021 seems nice
The discounts are pretty self explanatory. It's end of the year, and we have to clear stock of these dusty old 2020 subscriptions before 2021 starts, so we're letting them fo for pennies on the dollar! Everything must go! Help us clear out a totally made up and non-existent warehouse of these Pro subscriptions, so we could make room for 2021 inventory, which will naturally be more expensive. Profit from our poor logistics skills and save $19.
They also provide (limited) free service. Nice folks, in general.

Madness is an old frenemy of mine. Do something creative with it or it will own you.

Indeed. For with it's aid I overcome my weakness'.
Interestingly, creativity is both a weakness and an asset. A weakness? Because I do get bored with things when I just have to "do them" and there's no value added in modifying it to something newer and perhaps better. Nonetheless, it is an asset for, as I've oft repeated, wherever I've been I've left a trail of new things that make things better. Yet, that's not the motivation; merely the history - for they come about to solve a problem so I can get on with solving problems.
This last phrase - an endorphin within an endorphin.

And just who's new year is that one? Some have it in Autumn; others in the Spring - Chinese New Year teases the end of winter. But just what is Dec 31st->Jan 1st compared to any other monthly transition?
Banking New Year, I suppose.
