In recent versions, I'm trying to reduce the amount of asm to minimum. Don't even discard eliminating it completely, since the speed gain is almost null and definitively not worth of the induced complexity. Most times you can do same in C, the trick is, write C code thinking in assembler :-)
In the past I have tested key C code fragments on different processor types and have been astonished at the cross-CPU variability. I have seen factors of 3X difference between one-line code fragments (in a loop), with contradicting results on different processors. In the end, selecting the algorithm with the most consistently good performance across processors is best.
Since you primarily use Intel X86, I suspect that LCMS is optimized for Intel X86 using the compiler you use most often.
