I've noticed that the speed of GOGO is INSANE! (due to some massive ASM optimations i guess) Now, to the question, is any1 even optimizing LAME or is it still "under development" (quality) and will it be ASM optimized for some serious speed improvments, i know it fast now, very fast on my 850 p III but we will always have to need for more speed :) -- MP3 ENCODER mailing list ( http://geek.rcc.se/mp3encoder/ )
