Maybe. On the other hand, I would not recommend spending too much time to
optimise the generated asm code further. It does not work on non-i386
machines anyway (which includes 64 bit machines in native mode) and it'll
be a low priority when working on 4.3, for which at least the initial
versions would be C only.
Thanks for your great work though. :-)
