# You might fail to appreciate this module performance from the first
# try. If compared to "vanilla" linux-ia32-icc target, i.e. considered
# to be *the* best Intel C compiler without -KPIC, performance appears

# [on P4, more on others]:-) And if compared to position-independent
# code generated by GNU C, this code performs *more* than *twice* as
# fast! Yes, all this buzz about PIC means that unlike other hand-
# coded implementations, this one was explicitly designed to be safe
