First use 2 separate routines, and done position recalculation. Then whent to a single, with 1 position calculation. Then used fewer plane access, and have the bittest removed. And now even if I pass alot of time on it, it wont go mutch faster! The my lastest example, the previous one was with a small macro language. That to say, I dont write faster in C and even if it was faster for me I like ASM better... Its taste! Also when I transformed SGI image decompacting sub (like iff) it was not that bigger. The curent discusion is like saying 'Japaness is harder than Spanish'. Tell that to a Japaness! Stephan.
