Right: the older code did the average of three ops (eq, add, and branch), and the new code does the average of two ops (add, lt). The branch is the simplest in terms of complexity, so taking it own makes the average slower. That's why the MOPS result doesn't mean much, but the new code is simpler and *faster*, which is why I suggested it. (just not faster per op, you see) Hope that makes it clear, Leon -- Leon Brocard.............................http://www.astray.com/ Nanoware...............................http://www.nanoware.org/ ....
