/* ZSTD_c_prefetchCDictTables
* Controlled with ZSTD_paramSwitch_e enum. Default is ZSTD_ps_auto.
*
* In some situations, zstd uses CDict tables in-place rather than copying them
* into the working context. (See docs on ZSTD_dictAttachPref_e above for details).
* In such situations, compression speed is seriously impacted when CDict tables are
* "cold" (outside CPU cache). This parameter instructs zstd to prefetch CDict tables
* when they are used in-place.
*
* For sufficiently small inputs, the cost of the prefetch will outweigh the benefit.
* For sufficiently large inputs, zstd will by default memcpy() CDict tables
* into the working context, so there is no need to prefetch. This parameter is
* targeted at a middle range of input sizes, where a prefetch is cheap enough to be
* useful but memcpy() is too expensive. The exact range of input sizes where this
* makes sense is best determined by careful experimentation.
*
* Note: for this parameter, ZSTD_ps_auto is currently equivalent to ZSTD_ps_disable,
* but in the future zstd may conditionally enable this feature via an auto-detection
* heuristic for cold CDicts.
* Use ZSTD_ps_disable to opt out of prefetching under any circumstances.
