# "[Re]written" was achieved in two major overhauls. In 2004 BODY_*
# functions were re-implemented to address P4 performance issue [see
# commentary below], and in 2006 the rest was rewritten in order to
# gain freedom to liberate licensing terms.
# January, September 2004.
#
# It was noted that Intel IA-32 C compiler generates code which
# performs ~30% *faster* on P4 CPU than original *hand-coded*
# SHA1 assembler implementation. To address this problem (and
# prove that humans are still better than machines:-), the
# original code was overhauled, which resulted in following
# performance changes:
#
# compared with original compared with Intel cc
# assembler impl. generated code
# Pentium -16% +48%
# PIII/AMD +8% +16%
# P4 +85%(!) +45%
#
# As you can see Pentium came out as looser:-( Yet I reckoned that
# improvement on P4 outweighs the loss and incorporate this
# re-tuned code to 0.9.7 and later.
