The primary motivation for the change is that FindMatchLength is likely to discover a difference in the first 8 bytes it compares. If that occurs then we know the length of the match is less than 12, because FindMatchLength is invoked after a 4-byte match is found. When emitting a copy, it is useful to know that the length is less than 12 because the two-byte variant of an emitted copy requires that. This is a performance-tuning change that should not affect the library's behavior. With FDO on perflab/Haswell the geometric mean for ZFlat/* went from 47,290ns to 45,741ns, an improvement of 3.4%.
