I'm looking for the fastest way to test if a block of memory is all 
zeros or not.  This needs to be as fast as possible since it is being 
tested many times a second.

The memory block can be any length.  Assuming Buffer is a pointer to a 
block of memory, and BufferSize is the length of the block, I'm 
currently doing it like this.

type
  TBufferArray = array[0..0] of Byte;
  PBufferArray = ^TBufferArray;
....
  var
     BufArray: BufferArray;
     i: Integer;
  begin
    BufArray := Buffer;
    Result := False;
    for i := 0 to BufferSize-1 do
      if Buffer[i] <> 0 then Exit;
    Result := True;


This is reasonably quick but I'm wondering if there is a faster way that 
does not need to increment an integer many times.

Thanks,
Ross.
