There has been quite a bit of discussion there on that issue. It was added for sse3 some time ago; I beleive it was Intel engineers who contributed it for sse3, showing that it was inedeed faster on their chips to start at the high point and decrement the counter rather than starting at the low point and incrementing. The discussion in their lists does a better job of documenting the issue. -JimC -- James Cloos <cl...@jhcloos.com> OpenPGP: 1024D/ED7DAEA6
