"labels are frequently less than 8 bytes long, and therefore fit inside a 64-bit register. So it probably isn’t worth dealing with the portability issues of working with wide vector registers (Especially since I could not find a quick way to load an arbitrary number of bytes into a vector register with AVX2 nor with NEON.)"

- cratermoon 4y agoJust off the top of my head, I'm betting that 9 out 10 of the most visited internet domains are 8 bytes or less. google, facebook, twitter, youtube, baidu, yahoo. I think instagram might be one of the few that isn't 8 bytes. That's not counting URL shorteners, either.
