That was the 21064 which is quite obsolete. The current models are 21164 (and variants) and 21264 and they both have byte load and store instructions. I thought you owned a 21164? If your compiler is not generating byte loads and stores, maybe you could get a speed-up by using some compiler flags? >These are reasons why I intuit that it might go slower, but if I used this data >structure I would surely test it and know for sure. This is the smartest thing anyone has said on this whole thread. Get the program working, (preferably with the type hidden inside a typedef for easy modification). Then try changing the type, and measure the speed difference.
