Subject: is this really faster?

Go up one level in this thread


I ask because

1) mmx instructions have a 2-cycle latency on the athlon,
2) getting the data over to the MMX pipe and back takes at *least* 6 cycles
3) this is not really a 64 bit operation
4) I tried AMDs 'optimized' version and it turned out to be much slower than the
simple C hack

I'd be very interested in any performance numbers you have.
