[Gilles Vollant]

the "686" optimisation is still useful for modern processor, but it can be
useful do measurement

this is also true for x64 optimization

I am still curious about the state of the gcc-asm modules. By
following this list I could tell that the VC-asm modules are
well-tested, and they seem to offer a small speed improvement, but how
about gcc-asm? Did anybody run any tests? (I'd like to do that myself,
but the time I can spend on Windows is minimal these days.)

Best regards,
