Niels-
Thanks for reminding me, the mmx results are inconclusive. I will
be looking at
this when I come back from OLS in July.

Mala,
As you may recall, I showed you results back in February with MMX registers
enabled. I also gave you a simple patch to test activate the use of the
MMX
registers. It would be interesting if you could run your test with the MMX
patch so we could see the difference. In case you forgot the patch, it is
as simple as setting CONFIG_X86_USE_3DNOW on for Pentium III in
arch/i386/config.in.
