+// We fill the haystack with aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...aaaab.
+// That gives us:
+// - an easy search: 'b'
+// - a medium search: 'ab'.  That means every letter is a possible match.
+// - a pathological search: 'aaaaaa.......aaaaab' (half as many a's as haytack)

+//
+// Conclusions:
+//
+// The following recommendations are based on the sample results above. However,
+// we have found that the performance of STL search can vary significantly
+// depending on compiler and standard library implementation. We recommend you
+// run the benchmarks for yourself on relevant platforms.
+//
+// If you need case-insensitive, STL search is slightly better than memmem for
+// all cases.
+//
+// Case-sensitive is more subtle:
+// Custom memmatch is _very_ fast at scanning, so if you have very few possible
+// matches in your haystack, that's the way to go. Performance drops
+// significantly with more matches.
+//
+// STL search is slightly faster than memmem in the medium and pathological
+// benchmarks. However, the performance of memmem is currently more dependable
+// across platforms and build configurations.
