This patch contains a bit of small optimizations.
It avoid boolean operations which could involve branches replacing
with binary operations (equal/all_ident -> some_differences).
The other optimization avoids the use of ABS. First the way the macro
was used (with a large expression) was not easy to optimize by the
compiler.
Then instead of using ABS a much simpler range check is used so instead
of (ABS(n) >= k) a ((n) <= -k || (n) >= k) is used. This looks small
but modern compilers can translate this not in range check in a couple
of machine instructions (and a single compare).
Using operf on same samples (using spice-server-replay) and trying 2 runs
I got
run 1 2
-------------------------
before 104441 106267
after 92387 91083
So the performance increase is about 13%.
