Since the last answer fizzled, I'll try: because we have too much
cycle-counting mentality in this project.

Admittedly, strncmp() has the problem that you can get bugs like:

  strncmp(mime_type[0], "text/", 6)

which are hard to see. (There are disciplines which prevent such bugs,
but they're ugly as hell.) I've never found it to be a real problem,
though.
