+This is a patched version of zlib, modified to use
+Pentium-Pro-optimized assembly code in the deflation algorithm. The
+files changed/added by this patch are:
+
+README.686
+match.S
+
+The speedup that this patch provides varies, depending on whether the
+compiler used to build the original version of zlib falls afoul of the
+PPro's speed traps. My own tests show a speedup of around 10-20% at
+the default compression level, and 20-30% using -9, against a version
+compiled using gcc 2.7.2.3. Your mileage may vary.
+
+Note that this code has been tailored for the PPro/PII in particular,
+and will not perform particuarly well on a Pentium.
+
+If you are using an assembler other than GNU as, you will have to
+translate match.S to use your assembler's syntax. (Have fun.)

+Added for zlib 1.1.3:
+
+The patches come from
+http://www.muppetlabs.com/~breadbox/software/assembly.html
+
+To compile zlib with this asm file, copy match.S to the zlib directory
+then do:
+
+CFLAGS="-O3 -DASMV" ./configure
+make OBJA=match.o
