Nigel Tao 1fb4e4de26 compress/flate: use a constant hash table size for Best Speed.
This makes compress/flate's version of Snappy diverge from the upstream
golang/snappy version, but the latter has a goal of matching C++ snappy
output byte-for-byte. Both C++ and the asm version of golang/snappy can
use a smaller N for the O(N) zero-initialization of the hash table when
the input is small, even if the pure Go golang/snappy algorithm cannot:
"var table [tableSize]uint16" zeroes all tableSize elements.

For this package, we don't have the match-C++-snappy goal, so we can use
a different (constant) hash table size.

This is a small win, in terms of throughput and output size, but it also
enables us to re-use the (constant size) hash table between
encodeBestSpeed calls, avoiding the cost of zero-initializing the hash
table altogether. This will be implemented in follow-up commits.

This package's benchmarks:
name                    old speed      new speed      delta
EncodeDigitsSpeed1e4-8  72.8MB/s ± 1%  73.5MB/s ± 1%  +0.86%  (p=0.000 n=10+10)
EncodeDigitsSpeed1e5-8  77.5MB/s ± 1%  78.0MB/s ± 0%  +0.69%  (p=0.000 n=10+10)
EncodeDigitsSpeed1e6-8  82.0MB/s ± 1%  82.7MB/s ± 1%  +0.85%   (p=0.000 n=10+9)
EncodeTwainSpeed1e4-8   65.1MB/s ± 1%  65.6MB/s ± 0%  +0.78%   (p=0.000 n=10+9)
EncodeTwainSpeed1e5-8   80.0MB/s ± 0%  80.6MB/s ± 1%  +0.66%   (p=0.000 n=9+10)
EncodeTwainSpeed1e6-8   81.6MB/s ± 1%  82.1MB/s ± 1%  +0.55%  (p=0.017 n=10+10)

The Go Programming Language

Go is an open source programming language that makes it easy to build simple, reliable, and efficient software.

For documentation about how to install and use Go, visit https://golang.org/ or load doc/install-source.html in your web browser.

Our canonical Git repository is located at https://go.googlesource.com/go. There is a mirror of the repository at https://github.com/golang/go.

Go is the work of hundreds of contributors. We appreciate your help!

To contribute, please read the contribution guidelines: https://golang.org/doc/contribute.html

Note that we do not accept pull requests and that we use the issue tracker for bug reports and proposals only. Please ask questions on https://forum.golangbridge.org or https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/golang-nuts.

Binary Distribution Notes

If you have just untarred a binary Go distribution, you need to set the environment variable $GOROOT to the full path of the go directory (the one containing this file). You can omit the variable if you unpack it into /usr/local/go, or if you rebuild from sources by running all.bash (see doc/install-source.html). You should also add the Go binary directory $GOROOT/bin to your shell's path.

For example, if you extracted the tar file into $HOME/go, you might put the following in your .profile:

export GOROOT=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin

See https://golang.org/doc/install or doc/install.html for more details.
