Oh, of course! That's why I'm asking you guys to list the parts of the code that could most benefit from this in the wiki so I (we?) know what to focus on. Then we begin profiling and analysis. The documents on that site I referenced are very good and thorough! He explains the pros and cons of different compilers, how to profile, the law of diminishing returns, and even offers optimal versions of certain standard library functions which, simply by compiling against, may realize a noticeable speed increase depending on how often they're used. Sounds like the guy has the same philosophy as I do. :) I'm just wondering, since we use Qt for everything, if we'll have to compile Qt itself against that asmlib in order to realize a large benefit. (If true, that's another vote for sticking with MSVC, Albert. ;) ) That's another reason why I need to know which parts of our code to focus on: to see how heavily they rely on Qt's implementations for things. I'll play with compiling Mixxx and Mixxx + Qt against asmlib after we get 1.6.2 beta out. (How much butt would it kick to release 1.6.2 gold with a small speed increase?! :) ) Sean <<--------------------------------------------------------------------------------->> This E-Mail message has been scanned for viruses and cleared by >>SmartMail<< from Smarter Technology, Inc. <<--------------------------------------------------------------------------------->> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Apps built with the Adobe(R) Flex(R) framework and Flex Builder(TM) are powering Web 2.0 with engaging, cross-platform capabilities.
