Funnily enough I do have an assembly related question (a week
ago I tried to optimise 20 lines of C code into 10 lines of
SSE2 asm, and made it 15% slower in so doing).

Two errors at a time:

1) Optimizing at Code Level is simply absurd.

2) SSE has never been a thing but selling propaganda,
as demonstrated by all and any attempt like yours.

Heh.

http://board.flatassembler.net/topic.php?t=5122 . Optimizing from x87
FPU to SSE2 code gives...

~185% speed of the original for Pentium4/Prescott
~137% speed of the original for AMD64x2,
~219% speed of the original on Merom (upcoming CPU from intel)

Not to mention that mandelbrot rendering is quite a nice example of
where threading is good - we achieved almost perfect parallelism on
the code (for two CPUs, anyway).

Zero interrest.

"it doesn't prove / it disproves my theory, so I'll pretend it doesn't
exist" - nice one there, Betov :)
