in thread [OT] The interesting problem of comparing bit-strings.

'm curious how this might hold up against the optimized brute-force routines.

It's 3 orders of magnitude slower.

    More or less, yeah.

    I see your table lists "2.483719e-001" for the corresponding case. Brute force appears to be >300 times slower (0.2483719/0.000644).

    Looks like { M = 16384, logM = 14 } case is the fastestfaster, with tables weighing in at 64KB. Beyond that, slowdown. (0.2784286/0.000236 == ~1180). Even bigger needles/tables may be quicker still.
