memcmp versus strcmp, why is memcmp faster?
It all has to do with memory alignment. strcmp does a byte compare if either of the arguments is not aligned to a word boundary. memcmp returns non-zero if either are unaligned; otherwise is does block compares (4 bytes at a time on a 32 bit architecture).- counselour1
