Look up pygame sources. They have some hot inline MMX stuff. I experimented with this rescently and I must admit that it's etremely hard to beat C compiler. My first asm code actually was slower than C, only after reading Intel docs, figuring out what makes 'movq' and 'movntq' different I was able to write something that was several times faster than C. D language inline asm and tools to make Python extensions look very promising although I haven't tried them yet. -- Ivan -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
