Are you sure the compiler won't optimize these references into direct register accesses?
It sort of does. I haven't gone through the code with a fine comb, I just based it on the profile results after changing it, which were improved. I guess I'll shut up for a while and go away to do more testing. I am amazed with your combination of options on the "OPTIMIZER" line, and how much of a difference that makes. This is where I am finding compiler bugs with PowerPC (2.95.2 gcc).
