Hi Andi: Are you sure you get the C version when both are built-in or loaded as modules? If so then we have a bug in the priority code. If you only have the C version loaded then that is understandable since the module loading code doesn't know about the other one. > Is there a specific reason why anybody would prefer the C functions > over the assembler functions? We don't, but the system is meant to allow multiple implementations to coexist and picking the best one at run-time.
