It's very slowly to compare one byte at one time. Here are the performance I get from 128M spinand with NFTL by sequential writing. | file size | buffer size | write speed | | 10 MB | 0 B | 3206.01 KB/s | | 10 MB | 1 B | 2434.04 KB/s | | 10 MB | 2 B | 2685.78 KB/s | | 10 MB | 4 B | 2857.94 KB/s | | 10 MB | 8 B | 3060.68 KB/s | | 10 MB | 16 B | 3155.30 KB/s | | 10 MB | 64 B | 3193.68 KB/s | | 10 MB | 128 B | 3230.62 KB/s | | 10 MB | 256 B | 3153.03 KB/s | | 70 MB | 0 B | 2258.87 KB/s | | 70 MB | 1 B | 1827.83 KB/s | | 70 MB | 2 B | 1962.29 KB/s | | 70 MB | 4 B | 2074.01 KB/s | | 70 MB | 8 B | 2147.03 KB/s | | 70 MB | 64 B | 2179.92 KB/s | | 70 MB | 256 B | 2179.96 KB/s | The 0 Byte size means no validation and the 1 Byte size is how littlefs do before. Based on the above table and to save memory, comparing 8 bytes at one time is more wonderful. Signed-off-by: WeiXiong Liao <liaoweixiong@allwinnertech.com>

Why was 8 chosen.
Remember that this is being stored on the stack.
Any thoughts on making this configurable or reasons why it shouldn't be configurable?
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Too many configurations can be confusing.
I think 8 bytes is the best balance between performance and used space.

Hi @gmpy, this is a great patch and great analysis! Sorry this PR has been hanging for so long. I wasn't able to make a release for a while, but will bring this in the next minor release. |

The 0 Byte size means no validation and the 1 Byte size is how
littlefs do before. Based on the above table and to save memory,
comparing 8 bytes at one time is more wonderful.
