"By using non-strict comparisons (<= and >=) instead, we would find the minimum element with maximum index; this approach also has some small performance benefits." What performance benefits, exactly?
:On some machines it can cause less branch instructions, and so generate less icache flushes. The loop also has to have been unrolled or have other unconditional instructions in it. This effect is so small and machine-dependent however that I'll go ahead and remove this claim. Deco 02:08, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
