How many users want to read (OK, possibly people here)<p>"On some versions of glibc, the 32-bit specialisation of memcpy which used SSE2 instructions had a bug when the memory being copied crossed the 2GB boundary, so in that case we now use our own memcpy"<p>Or "Changed some internal lists to be only be sorted when they need to be rather than eagerly sorted whenever elements are added, which speeds up start-up time".
