humf. You must precise that it's better for this "atlas" thingy. You can't
generalize that easily for anything else.

just for fun, here is a test that is more *much* faster on gcc > 2.95


void recursive_memset(char *p, int n) {
  if (n) { 
    *p = 0;
    recursive_memset(p + 1, n - 1);
  } 
}

#define NB 10000

main () {
  char tab[NB];
  int i;

  for (i = 0; i < 10000; i++) recursive_memset(tab, NB); 
}
