Carey, since your still an ametuer I won't be so harsh on you, however,
please take note that other people (such as myself) are aware of the effects
caused by the cache, please don't try to educate me with your narrow-minded
views on coding because I'm pretty sure I know what I'm doing. Also note that
I am aware that 386's execute code slower than 486's so if you would like to
show off your semi-knowledge then do it somewhere else.
You have claimed :-
"Unrolling is bad because it may run well on a 386, but the speed ratio would
slow down on a 486/586".
First of all, when I release the software I've been working on lately, there
won't be one executable to suit all; there will be many each compiled
specifically for a targeted machine. It's absurd to think that not increasing
about 20% overhead on a 486 because it might slow down execution ratio on a
Pentium.
