So yet again my dislike of doing assember has been justified. One just needs a good compiler and be willing to put in the correct C code :-). While I know the asm is faster, the C compiler does a better job of the chaining between the 16 inlined inner loops.
[snippo] If you could produce a 100% 'C' version, with in-line provisions for replaceable 'C' or assembler functions, and insure that there is no significant performance loss for having this portability, then you could at least issue the 100% 'C' code for any machine or O/S. This would make a lot of people happy if the application has wide interest. Is this possible, even if it's more work?
