Interested in hearing what your timings come up with.

When it comes to optimization, results will vary (and can vary drastically) 
which is exactly why I said we don't assume anything and check the numbers.

There are some algorithms that can run 10 TIMES faster by doing twice as much 
work and vice versa.  Even using a different version of the same compiler with 
the same options can be dramatically different, but different instruction sets, 
different instruction set performance, and different memory models will all 
respond differently.

In computer science terms, this gets down to algorithm complexity. If you're 
not changing the order of complexity for an algorithm, gains will be limited 
and varied.

Cheers!
