Tom Lane 3c17926eed Speed up printing of integers in snprintf.c.
Since the only possible divisors are 8, 10, and 16, it doesn't cost
much code space to replace the division loop with three copies using
constant divisors.  On most machines, division by a constant can be
done a lot more cheaply than division by an arbitrary value.
A microbenchmark testing just snprintf("foo %d") with a 9-digit value
showed about a 2X speedup for me (tgl).  Most of Postgres isn't too
dependent on the speed of snprintf, so that the effect in real-world
cases is barely measurable.  Still, a cycle saved is a cycle earned.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	https://www.postgresql.org/download/

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
https://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
