I'm glad to merge your patch to my personal testing branch of
compcache and do some test on it . :)
The project master -- Nitin Gupta is trying to merge the current code
to the mainline, so I am afraid he may not merge any new patches
except bug-fixing ones for the time being.

And what about the CPU consumption of that algo. ?
Do you have benchmark numbers ?
