[Users] Faster to do avp_printf();avp_check OR search()?

[Kanakatti Mahesh Subramanya]

True. and agreed.

I was actually trying to be more general, i.e., if I wanted to do some 
processing on the contents of a specific header, would it be more 
efficient to extract that header using avp_printf(), and then search 
within it, as compared to just searching on the whole message

The answer, as it turns out, is that yes it is probably faster (limited 
to walking through and extracting just the header), and safer (less 
chance of matching against something else altogether)

thanx
