Comment on The Most Expensive One-byte Mistake (2011)parent

Comments

The speedup would be well worth it by being able to tell the mmc to move 100 bytes from position 20000 to position 40000 instead of give me 8 bytes from position 200000 then check evry one of the bytes then ask the mmc again give me 8 bytes from position 20008 and so on.

If I got to chose in this day and age I would define a c string/array as a pointer to a long int and after the long int we have or data.
