💡 What: Optimized the core byte-matching logic inside Match, MatchAt, and MatchAtRaw, as well as PrefixReject, by explicitly unrolling the remaining single-byte evaluation loops to read 4-byte (uint) and 2-byte (ushort) chunks using Unsafe.ReadUnaligned.

🎯 Why: The original logic matched the first n 8-byte chunks, and then fell back to a slow, single-byte for loop for any remaining bytes. For patterns that don't fall neatly into multiples of 8 bytes, this incurred unnecessary overhead due to individual byte lookups and comparisons.

📊 Impact: Reduces memory scanning times significantly for patterns of non-8-byte lengths. On a custom benchmark (100MB array, 10 iterations):

  • SearchManyPatterns (short pattern lengths ~14 bytes) runtime improved from ~240ms down to ~180ms (~25% speedup).
  • SearchManyPatterns (long pattern lengths) runtime improved from ~226ms down to ~82ms (~60% speedup).

🔬 Measurement: dotnet run on a custom benchmark testing short and long byte sequences over 100MB of random memory allocations confirmed the speed improvements and accuracy.
