I have been working on Linux/PowerPC for the last few days. Similar profile results, and I always run the "64bit" mode. The compiler does a very good job with the instructions, I doubt hand coding would result in anything better. I was thinking about arranging the instructions and/or data so the functions would take advantage of cache line hits. I am running on an MPC8xx that certainly doesn't have the horsepower right now to do real-time decode, so my challenge is more than just making it better....I am just trying to make it work :-). I am doing my development and testing on the iMac, where it does work.
I really don't know how MP3 works, and Rob's latest comments really help :-). Thanks.
