It is common knowledge that passing arguments in registers is faster than
passing them in memory.  There are some problems I ran into in trying to
devise a scheme:

If a compiler passes arguments in registers, how is varargs.h and printf
implemented?

If you are using a compiler that passes arguments in registers, please let
me know how they do it.

Send email.  I will summarize to the net.
