Could you post full source if you haven't already? For a bit of
benchmarking. I just wrote it from the top of my head, and I assumed
5 instructions for 16-byte would win any time, but haven't verified
anything yet.
I had it attached on my last mail. Attached it again here. (3rd
procedure / "Utf8LengthAdd")
It is only 64bit for now. (And not cleaned up in any way).
Also changing "bc >> 7" and "bc and 127"
to "moddiv(bc, 255, full, remain)" might save a few more ms. But
probably needs larger data to benchmark.
If you do work on this, feel free to integrate my code as the baseline
for cpu without SSE.
Otherwise, it might be a bit until I get to it.

Asm is nearly fully functional and working, more importantly the
remaining issues are constant time and single instruction work,
shouldn't influence benchmarking for anything than the shortest sequences.
I'll finish up and post the whole shebang, since more eyes could help,
I'm an asm amateur in some regards.
