I thought we had that documented somewhere but I can't seem to find it now. I remember reading a recommendation not to use the assembly build of zlib because of various issues. It may have been in the mailing list archives. Compilers these days have gotten so good that I think it's a waste of time to write hand-coded assembly unless there's a very specific and very special use case requiring exact control over something. Data structure and algorithm design make a far bigger impact than trying to save a few cycles. :-) Hope you get better results now! Cheers, Nathan
