But you just can't rule it out while it's still there. Well, as a first step, I'd replace all inline asm stuff with C/C++ implementations in the original version using MSVC. Performance might become worse than the original, or it might not. Either way, I'd leave those optimizations for later. Moreover, it would give you a CPU independent version of the code, which is often a good thing :) > For testing would you recommend something like > http://check.sourceforge.net/ ? A test_main with a bunch of assert checks should suffice as a start. Cheers, Oleg
